Derby House Classic Fly Rug

Product Information

The rugs have been developed to fit varying chest sizes with adjustable neck fastenings to achieve that optimum fit. This fly rug matches the Field Relief Fly Masks to protect your horse from the tip of their nose to their tail as it repels harmful UV rays, dirt, and pesky flies! I love this rug; I love the pattern, I love the matchy-matchiness, I love the coverage and I love the brand! The rug and the neckpiece feature fully adjustable straps, including chest, belly, and removable leg straps, ensuring a secure fit.

The horse fly rug is made of lightweight, soft, anti-rub, breathable mesh with cotton towelling along the spine for extra comfort. The Evolution has an eco friendly alternative to this which is layered on until the waterproofing on the rug matches that of previous technology.A new addition to the Trojan range; the 100g Dual Set offers greater flexibility thanks to its detachable neck cover, with benefits of layering in changing weathers.

The front of the rug and shoulder area was quite restrictive and tight on this particular pony, even with the shoulder dart, and I would think it would fit a finer, lighter horse much better.Featuring a grazing-friendly hood and large pleated tail flap to help keep the body, neck and poll covered at all times. My horse is a TB x, and although he is slightly on the porky side from the lovely summer grass, he is by no means fat! The Buster 400g features classic details such as branded stainless steel hardware and subtle contrast embroidery/trims. The Shower-proof breathable outer has your horse covered in both the heat and mild wet weather, and the neck cover and shoulder pleats ensure maximum comfort.

Besides being really annoying for horses, they can cause several health problems, such as itchiness, infections, eczema, loss of concentration, stress, eye irritation, agitation, parasites, and sweet itch in allergic horses. It’s important to remember that biting flies and mosquitos are disease vectors and cause most equestrian pandemics.Preloved, The Joy of Second Hand, Preloved People and The Second Hander are trademarks of Moo Limited. The Buster Zero has the added feature of attachments so that our ‘Rug Liners’ can be added to increase warmth, allowing customisation. Being the first of its kind the Derby House Evolution turnout rug is 100% PFC free, PFC’s are manmade chemicals that are normally used in waterproofing. After some use on a pony turned out in muddy Cumbrian fields the rug did hold its own but it wasn’t as waterproof as expected and it did get very muddy and damp, so it needed to be hung up to dry for a few days.

Nutrition, particularly through optimising the microbiome and supporting metabolic systems, plays a pivotal role in bolstering skin integrity and local immune responses. As someone who is trying to be more eco friendly, the effort from Derby House really appeals to me and I hope more equestrian brands will follow their example. The Derby House Elite Stormsafe rug provides a mesh barrier from flies, while a waterproof strip along the back helps keep your horse dry in summer showers.With climate change and environment issues becoming ever worrying, simple changes in the way we do our equestrian life can make a huge difference. The 50g lining rests lightly on your horses back, stopping them getting hot and bothered in the sun, while waterproofing protects. The 100g of fill did feel cosy and would provide some warmth when temperatures do drop unexpectedly.
