Fly Rugs For Horses & Ponies With Sensitive Skin

Skin irritation in horses can be a huge problem for many horse owners, in the battle to both keep their horses cool in the heat, whilst keeping them protected from all the possible factors that can cause a flare-up. Here at WeatherBeeta, we’ve got a great range of summer essentials to keep your horse protected against every element.

Fly rugs for horses are essential for keeping your horse protected from flies, midges, and other biting insects during the warmer summer months. Not only do they provide a barrier between the horse's body and the bugs by providing relief from itchy bites, but they also help to keep the horse clean by blocking dust and dirt particles that can cause often skin irritation.

For horses with sweet itch, fly rugs are a great way to provide relief from the relentless itching caused by midges. The barrier of insect-proof material helps protect your horse's skin from bites and offers some respite from their discomfort. While fly rugs alone may not be enough to eliminate sweet itch completely, they can certainly help reduce its severity and provide much needed relief. Investing in a quality fly rug is an important step towards improving your horse's overall well-being and happiness.

Fly sheets come in a variety of materials and styles to suit each horse's individual needs. Mesh fly rugs are great for horses with sensitive skin, as the lightweight mesh fabric is breathable and comfortable while still protecting from insects. The combination of insect-proof material layered over a soft lining helps keep your horse cool during the hot summer months. For extra protection, WeatherBeeta fly rugs come with a UV protection as high as 95% to keep your horse safe from harmful sunlight.

WeatherBeeta fly rugs are also designed to be comfortable and adjustable for the best fit possible for your horse. Several rugs in the range have adjustable straps and elastic leg straps that make it easy to find a snug fit around your horse's neck and legs and the wither relief pad featured on several WeatherBeeta fly sheets provides extra comfort to help reduce rubbing and discomfort, making it more comfortable for your horse.

Fly rugs are an important addition to any horse's wardrobe. They provide excellent protection from insects, dust and dirt as well as offering extra comfort and UV protection. Make sure to choose a fly rug that is comfortable and fits your horse's individual needs for the best results. With the right fly rug, you can help keep your horse healthy and comfortable during the summer months.

Fly masks are an essential item to have on hand for many horse owners during the summer months, as they provide protection from flies and other pests that can bother horses and cause irritable, swollen eyes. WeatherBeeta Fly masks come in a variety of styles, including those specifically designed for horses with sensitive eyes. These fly masks offer extra coverage of the eyes and nose to give greater protection against insects while still allowing for comfort and visibility. Typically constructed with a lightweight material that blocks out UV rays which can be damaging to sensitive eyes, WeatherBeeta fly masks also feature adjustable straps for a more comfortable fit and have a varying degree of mesh panels for increased breathability and maximum vision. Horses with sensitive eyes need extra protection during the summer months when flies are most active, so investing in an appropriate fly mask can be a great way to keep your horse comfortable and safe – not only providing protection from pests, but the added coverage of the face helps shield delicate eyes from harmful UV rays.
