Product: HV Polo Nena Detachable Neck Fly Rug

Size & Colour: 6ft8 Green

Date of Review: 20th June 2025

What were your first impressions?

I like that the rug is lightweight & breathable for the summer weather and the material still felt durable and doesn’t look like it would rip easily. I also like that it has a detachable neck so depending on the weather you can decide to have it on or off. I like the colour choice as it will mean grass stains will blend into the rug!

How was the sizing & fit?

Fairly true to size considering the sizing is slightly different to other brands- I sized up to a 6ft8 as the 6ft5 would have been too small. It fitted well even with my horse that has high withers.

Did the product live up to its decription?

I definitely think the rug is good for the warmer weather as it’s not heavy on the horse and it does keep the flies from irritating your horse whilst they are out. The detachable neck is easy to put on and take off and it is quite generous in the size allowing the horse to put their head down to graze with no restrictions. All the buckles are easy to adjust and clips are easy to use.

What type of horse would this rug best suit?

 I think this would be suited to most horses  for the summer but would especially suit horses that can get too hot in rugs as it’s lightweight as well as needing protection against UV rays if out during the day time. It is suitable for horses with high withers and are not the broad in the chest.

How did you test the product?

My horse is turned out at night and will normally be out from late afternoon till early morning so he still benefits from the UV protection from the rug.

What was your favourite feature?

I like that the rug has got UV protection and all the buckles and clips are easy to adjust and clip on to. The rug itself is quite adjustable so it is more versatile to different shapes and sizes of horses.
