You’ve cleaned and put away your horse’s winter turnout rugs, and now it’s time for summer sheets, fly rugs and fly masks. But does your horse’s current fly rug tick all the boxes and offer the performance you need?
Fly rugs are designed to keep your horse protected from biting insects, flies, and harmful UV rays. These rugs should be lightweight enough that a horse does not sweat during hot summer days, yet durable enough not to tear on hedgerows and withstand rug wreckers.
For a fly sheet that ticks all the boxes - is tough, has high airflow for optimum comfort and offers superior protection from the summer elements and insects, meet the WeatherBeeta Hexi Shield Fly Rug.
The Hexi Shield Combo Neck Fly Rug features a tough but lightweight 100% nylon mesh outer, with unique hexagon weave design with snag resistant mesh fabric, offering durability with over 55% UV protection for your horse. The yarn includes reflective properties to help reflect the sun and therefore heat away and a memory foam wither relief pad that contours to the horse's shape and lifts the sheet off the wither to reduce the chances of rubbing.
The front of this fly rug has a fully adjustable quick clip with sandwich press touch tape that's fast and easy to use; the neck portion has 3 easy to use touch tape closures and incorporates stylish WeatherBeeta branding, as well as a touch tape loop at the pole to attach to a headcollar if required.
Traditional side gussets that support natural movement; a full wrap tail flap that has a two-piece design to wrap around your horse's quarters for maximum protection, ultra belly wrap for extra protection with removable and adjustable web leg straps help to keep the sheet in place.
It’s time to upgrade your horse’s fly protection with the Hexi Shield Combo Neck Fly Rug.
