Flies are the bane of many a horse owner’s life. With longer, warm days the flies really start to appear. Luckily, RB Equestrian is here to help with our guide to fly rugs and fly masks.
If your horse is bothered or agitated by flies when they are in the field (or sometimes in the stable too) then you should consider getting them to wear a fly rug. Normally designed for turnout they can help keep most of the pesky flies away from your horse. Not only might this make life more comfortable for your horse in terms of reducing the flies’ access to them, a fly rug may also help keep your horse safe in the sun too. This handy guide helps you to decide what fly rug to choose.
