Daytime cover that keeps flies off without the heat build-up of a full turnout rug

A proper fly-rug mesh, denser than a summer turnout sheet, stops most biting flies reaching the skin while still letting air through. No fly sheet is completely midge-proof, but mesh coverage significantly cuts bites and rubbing.

No, that's the point of an open mesh over a solid rug, heat escapes through the weave while flies are kept off, unlike a full waterproof turnout rug which would trap heat in summer.

A fly sheet is an open, breathable mesh for insect protection in warm weather; a turnout rug is a solid waterproof fabric for rain and cold. They're not interchangeable, a fly sheet won't keep a horse dry in the rain.

Coverage varies by version, check the specification table above for whether this exact listing includes a neck cover and belly wrap, since some fly sheets in a range are body-only.

Hose off grit and mud first, then machine wash on a gentle or rug cycle; avoid high heat or tumble drying, which can damage the mesh weave and stretch the fabric.

Yes, that's the intended use, but check for rubbing at the shoulders and chest in the first few wears, and remove it in the evening once flies settle unless midges are still active.

Return it unused, with packaging, under our returns policy for an exchange or refund.

Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side, to the point of the buttock, in a straight line rather than over the curve of the body. That figure in inches is the rug size; this listing is sized 76". If your horse falls between sizes, size up rather than down.
