The "Kuba" fly rug was developed for horses that require especially reliable, continuous protection during the insect season. Its tightly woven yet breathable material effectively protects against flies and biting insects, making it suitable for horses with sweet itch or sensitive skin. At the same time, the elastic construction allows natural freedom of movement while grazing, moving, and lying down, without causing rubbing or restriction. The fixed neck section and fully enclosed cut ensure that sensitive areas remain evenly covered, while air circulation and wearing comfort are maintained even on warm days. This fly rug therefore offers balanced protection for long summer days—functional, skin-friendly, and suitable for everyday use.

• Elastic insert at the neck – graze freely, move freely: To allow the horse to graze and feed unhindered, the neck area of the fly sheet is equipped with an elastic insert. This flexible section between the withers and the neck piece adapts perfectly to the horse's movements, ensuring the blanket doesn't constrict or cause discomfort. With this functional solution, the horse can move its head naturally without the fly sheet restricting its freedom of movement.

• Additional chest protection with Velcro – gentle and secure: The elastic, breathable, and soft material at the chest prevents the fly sheet from gaping when the horse moves. At the same time, it protects against the chafing of buckles and ensures that no gap is created through which flies could enter. The Velcro closure allows for easy opening and closing while providing a secure fit, ensuring the fly sheet always sits perfectly on the horse's chest and reliably protects it from insects.

• Durable mesh material - Keeps flies away, provides lightness: Annoying insects are reliably kept away without restricting air circulation. The durable mesh material provides effective protection against flies and other pests while remaining lightweight and breathable. This allows your horse to stay relaxed even on warm days without sweating under the blanket. Additionally, the sturdy construction ensures that the blanket retains its shape and lasts, even with daily use.

• With UV protection – shields against harmful sun rays: Our fly sheets not only provide reliable protection against insects but also against harmful UV rays. UV protection is especially important as horses are exposed to intense sunlight during extended outdoor periods, which can lead to skin damage and long-term health issues. Our sheets prevent the horse's skin from being overly exposed to the sun, reducing the risk of sunburn and skin irritations.

• Breathable - For natural air circulation: Moisture is quickly transported to the outside, preventing heat buildup under the blanket. Your horse stays dry and comfortable even during extended use or fluctuating temperatures. Especially after training or during transport, the excellent air circulation ensures that the muscles don’t cool down, keeping your horse optimally protected. This feature makes the blanket a reliable companion in any situation.

• Elastic - For unrestricted freedom of movement: Unlimited freedom of movement is essential for your horse’s well-being. The elastic material adapts perfectly to every movement without restricting or slipping. Whether during transport, in the pasture, or while being led, the flexibility of the material ensures a comfortable fit and maximum wearing comfort. This allows your horse to move freely at all times without the blanket causing discomfort or chafing.

• Machine washable - Tough in performance, easy to clean: Thanks to its machine washability, the blanket is especially easy to care for and clean. After extended use, whether in the pasture or during transport, you can simply toss it in the washing machine at 30°C, and it’s ready to use again in no time. This not only saves time but also ensures that the blanket remains hygienic and fresh—providing optimal protection and comfort for your horse.

• Adjustable belly flap with 3-point fastening – fully protected: The individual adjustment of the belly flap ensures that the fly sheet fits securely and snugly without slipping. The 3-point fastening provides seamless protection, preventing flies from reaching the horse's sensitive belly area. This ensures the blanket stays reliably in place during movement, avoiding pressure points or uncomfortable restrictions.

• Elastic T-front closure – securely fastened, but never constricting: The chest area of the horse remains free from pressure points thanks to the elastic T-front closure, without restricting freedom of movement. The horse can move freely while the fly sheet stays securely in place. Additionally, the closure is easy to open and close, improving handling for the rider.

• With a fixed neck piece – for a relaxed day in the paddock: The protection against insects is made even more efficient by the fixed neck piece on the fly sheet, as it covers your horse's sensitive neck area. The sturdy neck piece ensures effective all-around protection, even during intense movements. Your horse can move freely while staying optimally protected from annoying insects – ideal for use in the pasture and paddock.

• Detachable and adjustable leg straps – customizable and easy to care for: The secure fit of the fly sheet is ensured by the adjustable and detachable leg straps, which can be customized to the horse's body shape. This keeps the blanket reliably in place, even during energetic movements. Additionally, the leg straps can be quickly and easily removed, making the blanket more flexible and versatile, while also allowing for effortless cleaning.

Did you know that... fly sheets for horses were first developed in the 19th century to protect horses from insect bites and skin irritations, which were particularly problematic during the summer months on pastures? At that time, the first blankets were usually made of coarse linen or cotton and were hand-sewn. The modern development towards breathable mesh materials and elastic inserts is a result of advancements in textile technology, which have created new possibilities for the production of equestrian equipment, especially in recent decades.
