Royal Scot Original Fly Rug - White

The rug is made from durable polyester material.

Its primary purpose is to protect horses from flies and other insects, thereby enhancing their comfort.

You can hand wash or machine wash the rug on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Always air dry.

The rug is best suited for warmer months when insect activity is high. It is made of polyester, which can provide some breathability, but may not be ideal for very hot or humid conditions if the horse is sensitive to heat.

Fly rugs help prevent insect bites, reduce irritation and stress for the horse, and can protect sensitive skin from sun and insects, leading to improved comfort and well-being.

The rug is white as part of its classic and practical design. White is also sometimes thought to reflect sunlight, though its primary function here is aesthetic and traditional.

Yes, the rug is designed for extended wear during periods of fly activity. However, always monitor your horse for signs of overheating or discomfort, especially in very warm weather, and remove it if necessary.

Ensure you have selected the correct size for your horse. Refer to sizing charts if available. Adjust any available straps for a better fit.

Check if the weather has become significantly hotter than expected. Ensure the rug is not too tight. Consider removing the rug during peak heat if insect pressure is low.

Inspect the rug regularly for small tears. Minor rips can often be repaired with a specific rug repair kit to prevent them from worsening.

Wash the rug using a detergent designed for white fabrics or a mild stain remover. Ensure all detergent is rinsed out thoroughly.
