Product Information

Full details

The HKM Cow Fly Rug with neck cover is an essential solution for horse owners seeking to protect their animals from flies and biting insects while in the field. Crafted from durable, tear-resistant polyester, this rug offers a robust barrier against pests while maintaining comfort through an optimized fit and integrated freedom-of-movement gussets. While it provides comprehensive coverage, users should ensure the size is correctly matched to their horse to prevent rubbing, as the non-detachable neck design provides static, full-body protection.

FAQs

Is the neck cover detachable?

No, the neck cover on the HKM Cow Fly Rug is non-detachable, designed to provide continuous protection.

Can this rug be tumble dried?

Yes, it is suitable for tumble drying provided that all velcro fasteners are securely closed beforehand.

How do I secure the neck to the bridle?

The neck piece features an integrated velcro fastener specifically designed to loop through or attach to your horse's headcollar or bridle.

Is the material waterproof?

No, this is a fly rug made of breathable polyester, designed for insect protection, not rain protection.

What is the best way to clean the rug?

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius with all fasteners closed. Do not use harsh detergents that could compromise the mesh.

Troubleshooting

Neck piece sliding down

Ensure the neck velcro is securely attached to the headcollar or bridle.

Rug shifting while in the field

Check that the elastic leg straps are adjusted to the correct length and that the belly flap is fastened snugly.

Velcro losing its grip

Remove hair and debris from the velcro hooks and loops using a stiff brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, place it over the horse's back and secure the front chest closures first, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Attach the elastic leg straps to prevent the rug from shifting sideways, and secure the belly flap firmly. For the neck piece, use the provided velcro fastener to attach it to the horse's headcollar.

Care instructions are straightforward:

Always close all velcro fasteners before washing to prevent damage to the mesh fabric or hardware.
Machine wash at a gentle 30-degree cycle.
The rug is suitable for tumble drying, though air drying is recommended to extend the longevity of the polyester material.
