Horse Fly Rugs & Summer Sheets

Horse Fly Rugs & Summer Sheets — Keep Flies, Midges & UV Off Your Horse All Summer.

For many horses, summer brings as much discomfort as winter. Flies, midges, and UV radiation cause persistent irritation, skin damage, and in susceptible horses, trigger sweet itch reactions that can lead to serious self-inflicted injury through rubbing. A well-fitted fly rug is one of the most effective tools available for managing these challenges — providing a physical barrier that reduces fly landing, midge access, and UV exposure without adding warmth during the hottest months of the year.

Types of Fly Rug & Summer Sheet

• Standard fly rugs – Lightweight mesh rugs that cover the body and offer basic fly and UV protection; the most widely used option for general summer turnout
• Full neck fly rugs – Include an integrated neck cover for horses that suffer from fly irritation around the neck and shoulders, or those prone to sweet itch in these areas
• Sweet itch rugs – Specifically designed for horses with sweet itch; feature a fine-mesh belly wrap, full neck, and face coverage to prevent Culicoides midges from accessing sensitive skin
• UV protection fly rugs – Made from UV-blocking fabrics that protect horses with pink or unpigmented skin from sunburn and photosensitivity
• Fly sheets & summer sheets – Lighter, non-mesh options for stabling or travelling in warm weather; keep the coat clean and protect against dust and insects in the stable
• Combo fly rugs – Full coverage designs with detachable neck covers that offer flexibility across different weather and fly pressure conditions
