Fly rugs
Horseware rugs are produced in Ireland with attention to detail and with high quality materials. Horseware constantly strives to produce the best and have become a leading manufacturer.
Horseware rugs are tested for a minimum of one year before they hit the shelves, in many cases they are tested for up to three years. The rugs are also tested on a minimum of 20 horses before they go on the market.
Rambo rugs are made of ballistic nylon, a fabric first developed for bulletproof vests worn by airmen in World War II.
In the summer, a horse can be very bothered by flies and gnats. A fly rug can then be a godsend! Fly rugs are made of a firm mesh fabric so the fly cannot irritate the skin of the horse and the rug breathes enough during the summer months. Because the fly rug moves over the horse's body it makes it difficult for the fly to land at all. Fly rugs with zebra print have an additional disorienting effect and are therefore more fly repellent than rugs without zebra print (source).
How do you recognize if the horse is suffering from flies?
A horse that is bothered by flies can behave restless by, for example, shaking its head a lot, wagging its tail or stamping or kicking its feet.
