Waterproof Fly Rugs

Waterproof Fly Rugs

A waterproof fly rug is a type of horse rug designed to protect horses from flies, insects, and wet weather. Unlike standard fly rugs, which are usually made from lightweight mesh for breathability, waterproof fly rugs combine fly protection with a waterproof top layer to keep the horse dry during rain.

Key Features of Waterproof Fly Rugs:

• Waterproof Top Section: Protects the horse from rain while keeping the body dry.

• Breathable Mesh Sides: Ensures airflow to prevent overheating.

• UV Protection: Helps shield the horse from sunburn and coat fading.

• Detachable Neck Covers (in some designs): Provides full coverage for extra protection.

• Belly Flaps & Leg Straps: Helps keep the rug secure and prevent flies from getting underneath.

Best Uses:

• Ideal for horses that need protection from both flies and unpredictable weather.

• Great for summer months when showers are common.

• Suitable for horses with sensitive skin or insect allergies.
