Its main benefit is providing comprehensive protection for horses prone to sweet itch and sensitive skin, by shielding them from biting insects, UV rays, and preventing irritation.
The fly sheet offers over 90% UV protection, helping to prevent sun bleaching and protect the horse's skin and coat.
No, the smooth 210T lining is designed to minimize friction and rubbing at the mane, shoulders, and tail, promoting coat shine.
Ensure the rug is the correct size. Fasten the twin front clips securely and adjust the belly wrap for a snug, comfortable fit. The tail cord should also be adjusted for security.
Yes, the design allows for freedom of movement, making it suitable for turnout and light riding on hot days.
It can be hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Always air dry away from direct heat.
The full coverage design includes a large belly wrap and an innovative three-piece tail flap for superior protection of the horse's underside and tail area.
Ensure the rug is the correct size and fitted properly. Check for any debris caught in the lining or closures. Ensure the wither pad is sitting correctly and not bunching up. Consider if the horse has very sensitive skin and might need a different lining material or a break from wearing the rug.
Check that the Ezi-clips are fully engaged and the touch tape is clean and adhering properly. Ensure the belly wrap is adjusted to the correct tension – not too loose, not too tight. The tail cord should also be securely fastened.
While breathable, this rug is designed for protection. Monitor your horse in very high temperatures, especially if they are rugged indoors. Consider removing the rug during cooler parts of the day or when the insect pressure is low, if advised by a veterinarian.
The 600 denier ripstop outer is durable, but tears can still occur. Inspect the rug regularly. Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with specialized rug repair tape or by a professional rug repair service to prevent them from spreading.
Setup: Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Fasten the twin Ezi-clip front closures securely. Adjust the elasticated belly wrap for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring it is not too tight. Secure the adjustable tail cord. The stretch panel on the neck should sit comfortably without pulling.
Compatibility: This fly sheet is designed for horses prone to sweet itch, insect bites, and UV sensitivity. It is suitable for turnout and can be used for light riding.
Care: Clean the rug regularly to maintain its effectiveness and breathability. Brush off loose dirt and debris. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and fabric softeners. Always allow the rug to air dry completely, away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry.
