horses consume significantly more energy due to constant defensive movements against flies and insects? Head tossing, tail swishing, and restlessness strain muscles and concentration, and can lead to tension or stress in the long term. A fly rug noticeably reduces insect contact and helps the horse stand more calmly, graze, and move in a more relaxed manner.

When should I put a fly rug on my horse?

A fly rug is used as soon as flies, mosquitoes, or other insects are visibly bothering the horse. Typical signs include restlessness, frequent tail swishing, or constant head shaking. A fly rug can help to significantly reduce these irritants and provide the horse with more peace in the pasture and stable.

Does the rug also protect against small insects like black flies?

Our "Ibiza" fly rug effectively keeps out most flying insects such as flies, horseflies, and mosquitoes. For very small pests like black flies and deer keds (e.g., for sweet itch), a specialized sweet itch rug like our "Kuba" with an extra-fine mesh is more suitable.

What does classic cut with gussets mean?

The gusset in the shoulder area ensures more freedom of movement, so that the fly rug fits comfortably even on active horses and does not restrict them.

Can I leave the fly rug on all day?

Yes, a high-quality fly rug like our "Ibiza" is made of breathable materials designed for continuous use, wicking away heat and moisture without causing heat buildup.

Can I wash the fly rug?

Yes, the fly rug can be machine washed at 30 °C. Please do not use fabric softener and let it air dry.

Are the straps necessary for a secure fit?

Yes, the belly flap and leg straps ensure that the fly rug stays securely in place, even during movement or in windy conditions.

Is the neck piece detachable?

Yes, the neck piece is detachable and can be used flexibly as needed.

How does a fly rug differ from a sweet itch rug?

Fly rugs are designed for general everyday insect protection and are made of breathable mesh. Sweet itch rugs like our "Kuba," on the other hand, are woven much more densely and are specifically designed for horses with sweet itch. The "Ibiza" fly rug combines a denser mesh along the back with airy mesh in other areas for optimal protection, but it is not a pure sweet itch rug.

Is there a matching mask for the Ibiza fly rug?

Yes. The Ibiza fly rug is perfectly coordinated with the Ibiza fly mask. Together, they form a well-thought-out duo for reliable insect protection and high wearing comfort.
