Fly Fringes Needed for Horses in Honduras

Fly fringes are often overlooked as a small detail in equine health management, but horses in Honduras need them more than ever.

A team from World Horse Welfare visited Honduras recently to assess the country's carthorses' well-being. The team members were surprised to find horses with large, open wounds covering their faces due to an extreme fly and insect problem.

These horses work day-in and day-out with no chance to recover. Thus, the World Horse Welfare is calling on all concerned horse lovers for help. By donating a fly fringe, you can dramatically change the quality of life for these horses, and in turn, their owners.
