Horses should wear stiped pajamas

It would be worth a try. You could test out various types of stripes and see if anything gives you protection. It would make walks outside more pleasant if you were insect free.

I almost never get bitten even when the people around me are being eaten alive. It is not fair and I have no idea why.

Once they determine what works best they could design something for horses that would protect them. It could be a light weight nylon covering that would keep the flies off.  I am sure the horses would love it. I wonder if the stripes have to be black and white? Do they have to be straight stripes or could they be weird stiped designs? This could be a very good business opportunity.
