Product details

Model: EQB1667Colour: Grey

Made with your horse’s comfort in mind, the Field Relief Fly Rug will keep your horse protected from the flies while remaining cool and able to move freely in the field. With a unique hexagonal pattern tested to reduce fly landings by 51% on average when compared to other fly rugs.

THE DETAILS:

  • Anti-rub lining
  • Wither pressure relief panel
  • Shoulder relief shaping
  • 90% UVB protection
  • Elasticated surcingles with belly flap
  • Extra-large tail flap
  • Contoured back shaping

MATERIALS:

The rug is made up of different panels to allow relief and ease of movement through the high movement areas, as well as those at risk of rubbing.

A quick dry, Lycra panel lines the top of the neck allows a snug fit for protection against flies while preventing against rubbing. The use of a separate Lycra panel also eliminates the need for a silk satin lining inside the fly rug mesh, offering a more breathable option with less material.

This neck panel then feeds down to the wither relief panel which is designed so there are no seems on the sensitive and prominent wither area.

Going down from this is our unique shoulder relief shaping, made with extra material to allow your horses shoulder to move without restriction.

The mesh of the rug is designed to be closed enough to restrict biting insects, but open enough to keep the horse cool when the temperatures are warmer. Finally, the material protects against the sun’s harmful rays, offering 77% UVA and 90% UVB protection.

Who is this UV protective fly rug for?

  • Horses with a UV sensitivity
  • Horses sensitive to fly irritation​
  • Horses who bleach in the sun
  • Horses prone to sweet itch​
  • Horses who get warm easily
  • Sensitive horses prone to rubbing

DESIGN:

Equilibrium's aim was to determine which fabric print or colour choice had the least amount of fly landings. While this testing was conducted by ourselves in the development stage of the fly rug product, our test method was based on a combination of the methods used by the professors from the University of Bristol and other previous studies that investigated fly landings on cattle.

Equilibrium tested a total of 6 different fabrics of identical size and created baited ‘landing zones’ for flies. Equilibrium recorded these zones for a total of 6 hours, before repeating this on 3 separate occasions and an average was taken from this.

The results showed that our monochrome hexagonal design had significantly fewer landings than most other compared prints and colours.
