About the product

Designed for the heavier set horse with a deeper neck and belly drop. The Amigo XL Bug Rug is made from a very lightweight and durable polyester mesh, crafted to keep your horse cool and clean while protecting them from flies.

What were your first impressions?

“The rug is made from a lovely quality material which is soft and lightweight, but feels strong. All the fixings are the quality I would expect from Horseware”

How was the sizing and fit

” I have found that Woody has been growing out of his 6ft3 rugs due to him ‘maturing’ and taking up room in the rug in both the shoulders and the quarters, but because this rug is made specifically for deep bodied horses, the 6ft3 fits perfectly.”

How did you test the product?

” Warm, sunny days have been few and far between this spring, but Woody has been turned out in his bug rug on a few occasions. He likes a good roll, and can also be rather exuberant in the field, and the rug has remained in place throughout. I’ve also found in the past that fly rugs would rub Woody on the shoulder, but because this one fits so well, this has not been the case”

What was your favourite feature?

“The silky shoulder and mane linings coupled with the great fit means Woody remains rub free whilst wearing this rug”

Any other comments?

“The rug also has UV protection which is very important, especially since Woody is grey”
