Fly Rugs – Comfort & Coverage

Keep your horse comfortable and irritation‑free with our lightweight, breathable fly rugs. Designed to shield your horse’s body from flies, gnats, and other biting insects, these rugs reduce stress and protect sensitive skin. The fine mesh fabric allows airflow to keep your horse cool while preventing bites, making turnout or stabling more pleasant during warmer months.

Fly Masks & Fly Boots – Targeted Protection

For horses that need extra care, our fly masks and fly boots provide targeted protection for the face, ears, and lower legs. Fly masks prevent eye, ear, and face irritation while maintaining clear vision and comfort, and our fly boots safeguard legs from bites, bumps, and rubbing. Both are designed to stay securely in place without restricting movement, so your horse can go about their day without worry.

Our Stay Drys combine insect protection with water-resistant fabric, making them perfect for damp or unpredictable weather.

Lightweight yet durable, Stay Drys offer versatility for horses who spend time both in and out of the stable during the summer months.

FAQs

How do I measure my horse for a fly rug?

To get the correct fit, measure your horse from the centre of the chest along the side to the centre of the tail. Then, refer to our size guide to select the appropriate rug size.

How do Bug & Fly Boots protect my horse and how do I choose the right size?

During the summer months, horses’ legs are particularly vulnerable to fly and midge bites, which can cause swelling and irritation. Premier Equine Bug & Fly Boots are crafted from a 3D ducted sports mesh, allowing air to flow and circulate around the horse’s legs, keeping them cool even on the hottest days. They can be used on both front and hind legs, providing comprehensive protection from biting insects. To ensure the correct fit, measure the circumference of your horse’s leg to determine how much bone your horse has. Take measurements for both the front and hind legs, then refer to the size chart to select the best size for your horse. A properly fitted boot stays securely in place without restricting movement or causing discomfort.

What are Stay‑Drys and how do the three versions differ?

Stay‑Drys are designed for unpredictable weather , insects and summer showers don’t need to interrupt your horse’s turnout. The three versions all share a waterproof top design (the topline is made from a durable 600D diamond triple‑weave polyester outer) that shields against sudden rain‑showers.

  • Stay-Dry Super Lite Fly Rug: Features a lightweight nylon lower section (approx. 70% UV reflective) for strength, comfort, and protection against flies. Ideal for warmer summer days when showers are interspersed with sunshine.

  • Buster Stay-Dry Mesh Air Fly Rug: Has a breathable sports mesh lower section that prioritises airflow, comfort, and insect protection, with approx. 70% UV reflection. Includes a longer cut and integrated neck cover for maximum coverage.

  • ShowerTex Fly Rug: Uses a lightweight polyester lower section that disperses heat while keeping flies away. Designed for ventilation and protection during variable weather, helping to prevent heat build-up in the summer.

How should I care for and clean my fly rug?

Most fly rugs can be hand washed or machine washed at 30°C and should be air dried naturally away from heat sources or tumble dryers. Regular cleaning removes dirt, sweat and insect residues, helping the rug last longer and maintain comfort for your horse.
