With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.
Make sure this product is right for you with our 28-days Return Policy! Find more information on returns here.

The Shires Tempest Original Zebra Combo Neck Fly Rug is inspired by nature and informed by science, and uses zebra stripes to deter bothersome flies and biting insects. Scientific research† shows that stripes effectively prevent flies from landing on the horse.
Made from an ultra-breathable fabric that blocks 80%* of UV radiation, this lightweight rug blocks biting insects, while remaining breathable and comfortable.
Added benefits include twin chest fastenings, adjustable cross surcingles, adjustable fillet strap and a tail flap for all round coverage.
†Scientists' findings indicate that stripes prevent horse flies from making a controlled landing when up close. Beneficial effects for the horse were seen with fewer flies landing on a horse wearing a zebra print rug, than a naked horse, or solid coloured rug. T.Caro et al.
