A study was done about the effects of zebra stripes on biting insects. It was a complicated study, but the stripes seem to help protect zebras from insect bites. They put stiped blankets on horses and it seemed to offer some protection.
They still have to study details about the type of stripes, but in places and times when flies are bad, a striped blanket could make life much better for horses.

It would be pretty funny to see a field of horses all in stripped blankets. Still, if it helped protect the horses from harm it would be worth it. I wonder how the horses feel about the striped pajamas.
