Fly Sheets / Fly RugsA fly sheet or fly rug is a lightweight fine mesh rug that offers protection to horses at grass from biting flies and insects during the summer. Fly rugs most often have a belly flap that is fastened to both sides of the rug in order to give protection to the horse's belly against flies. Many fly sheets also include a neck cover either fixed to the fly sheet by clips so that the neck cover is detachable or permanently fixed to the fly sheet (combo fly rug). Some fly rugs also have matching fly masks or bonnets for complete fly protection. In addition to offering protection from flies during the summer a fly rug can also help to prevent sunburn on horses with sensitive pale skin, help to keep the coat free from dust and dirt, and help to prevent bleaching of the coat from the sun. |
