Looking for a fly rug?
Then you've come to the right place at DocHorse. At DocHorse, you can buy fly rugs in all different types and sizes. For example, we have fly rugs with a fixed neck, a detachable neck, or with a belly flap.
Why do you need a fly rug?
A fly rug protects your horse against flies, horseflies, mosquitoes, and insects. Furthermore, most fly rugs are UV-resistant, so your horse's coat is also protected against UV radiation. Additionally, a rug that is light in color is cooler for your horse if it has a dark coat, as a light color attracts less heat than a dark coat.
What to consider when choosing a fly rug?
When purchasing a fly rug, pay attention to:
- Fit: the rug should not be too tight. Check if there is enough room at the neck, chest, and withers, even when your horse has its head down.
- Neck part: opt for a fixed neck, a detachable neck, or no neck at all, depending on the protection your horse needs.
- Extras: some rugs have a belly flap for extra protection against stings and bites.
- Price and durability: consider the quality of the fabric, especially for horses that spend a lot of time outdoors or like to roll.
Waterproof fly rugs
We also have a wide selection of waterproof fly rugs. These rugs are perfect for changeable weather. The fly rug has a waterproof top with a mesh side. This ensures that your horse's back stays dry during unexpected rain showers but that they don't get too warm.
