Made from a strong 1200 denier mesh fabric, with an attached neck cover and belly flap, the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Ripshield Plus Fly Rug is a must-have for any horse to wear through the warmer months to protect them from pesky flying insects.
“I knew as soon as I felt the rug that it was such a strong material, one that would be impossible to rip. It was all such a strong, high quality design while being bug proof.”
“Dexter is always a 6ft3 and that’s what I went with. It fits perfectly on his body, as it should be in all the right places. The only thing I would say is the neck does come up long- this may be because dexter does have a short neck. I just rolled it up and it was good to go.”
“Every fly rug I’ve owned (many), after a day out in the field I bring him in and he’s covered in hives, this is due to getting too hot, he is also prone to getting bitten a lot and reacts very badly.
Since wearing this rug, even on warmer sunny days, I’ve brought him in and he’s lovely and cool…even better…he hasn’t come out in hives!! This is a first, so I’m really pleased as I know it’s keeping him cool and I can now bring him in to have a ride and not worry about him being sensitive to the hives. I would also like to mention that no bugs are biting him through this rug as this always happened with his previous rugs.”
” For me it would have to be the strong material, Dexter is known for climbing through bushes and ripping all his rugs…but not anymore! I also love the stretch panel on the neck allowing maximum movement and comfort when grazing.”
“I highly recommend this rug to anyone who has a rug wrecker or a horse that is known to getting hot when out on those warmer days.”
