Description
Our inspiration for the new Field Relief Fly Rug is down to research that has shown that the colour yellow tends to repel flies*. The Field Relief Fly Rug has yellow coloured mesh with orange and black binding, and fits in seamlessly with our new and updated Field Relief Fly Masks to keep your horse protected from sun, dirt and those pesky flies from the tips of their noses all the way to their tails!
Features of the Field Relief Fly Rug:
The neck of the rug features a number of adjustable straps, as well as a stretch hood fitting perfectly over the ears with elasticated straps, to allow your horse to have the freedom to move his head and graze without restriction.
As horses tend to move a lot in the field as they graze, we have incorporated anti-rub lining down the neck, over the withers and on the chest to help prevent rubbing. The Field Relief Fly Rug is quick and easy to put on and off with male and female clips on the chest.
The belly flap extends of the majority of horse’s midsection, keeping this fly free and if you own a grey or coloured horse, it helps keep them clean too! With three adjustable sliders on each side, the belly flap can be altered to fit a wide range of horses.
The yellow mesh not only helps keep those pesky flies away, but it also provides UV protection, helping to prevent bleaching from the sun which can be extremely useful for those darker coloured horses in the summer months. The Field Relief Fly Rug is comfortable for horses to wear all day (or night) with it’s lightweight and breathable mesh.
The Field Relief Fly Rug features a long tail flap with a plastic covered fillet string, allowing the rug to be put on and taken off quickly and easily. The fillet string can be taken off using the clips, and because of the plastic cover, it’s easy to wash and more hygienic than traditional string.

JJ suffers from sweet itch and Banjo’s coat has a tendency to get bleached in the sun! I can honestly say that these are the best fly rugs we have used; they provide excellent coverage, fit well and JJ and Banjo have never looked better!

They are lovely fit and I love the quality of them. All the attachments and clips are great quality so you feel they are going to last and are easy to use. There is lots of adjustment too. They look and feel a really quality rug couldn’t by happier with them. We really like how they fit over the ears it is nice and snug but not restricting so stays in place even when they roll.

I just wanted to drop you a quick line to say how thrilled I am with my Field Relief Rug I bought in the recent Bank Holiday sale preview.
Victor has 5 fly rugs, one is too thick and rigid, the other so thin & flimsy it clings to him & looks very uncomfortable, the other rubs his withers, another is so thin it rips if he so much as scratches himself and the final one has a belly flap that is so big it rubs his sheath and worse still he gets a “bit stuck” when he tries to wee and ends up pee’ing all over his belly! The Field Relief has solved all of these issues and I can finally turn him out content that he’s comfortable and protected. He can be fussy around his head so I wasn’t sure how he’d get on with the headpiece but he doesn’t mind at all and helps keep his fly mask on.
As a fan of your products (Victor has approx 20+ pairs of Stretch and Flex training wraps and TriZone sports that he’s been wearing since he was 3, grown out off etc, and when still unbalanced wore for turnout, and now wears a fresh set everyday for exercise) I was really keen to try to the rug but was struggling to warrant adding to his collection in case it wasn’t the answer I was looking for, so the sale was too good an opportunity to miss. Now only wish I’d got one sooner, ordered two and that they were available smaller to fit Victor’s pony buddy.
Great rug, love it, just wanted to let you know I really appreciate the thought that must have gone in to it.
