The rug (5ft 9) fitted our tester, a 14.3hh anglo-arab, extremely well. Often experiencing difficulty to find a rug to fit her narrow shoulders and smaller frame, we were pleasantly surprised that the rug fitted like a glove. However, we do recommend that for heavy-breed horses or horses with wide shoulders, to size up!
The poly-cotton panel, which sits across the top of the neck, back, and chest, are thicker than your average mesh fly rug. Although the natural-synthetic material blend was tough, it was extremely breathable too. With our tester having more sensitive skin, not only did the gentle blend sit comfortably, the breathability of the fabric ensured there was not adverse reaction, even on the hottest’s of days. Meanwhile, the opaque fabric ensure full protection from flies, with not a bite in sight!
The mesh running across the borders of this rug gave us peace of mind that any breeze would be well-received. With a satin-lining under the neck, across the chest and on the tail flap, rubbing was non existent! Plus, shoulder gussets ensured our tester could gallop, buck, and graze with ease.
