How To Learn About All The Different Kinds Of Horse Fly Rugs

     Due to the many different situations that we find ourselves in when riding, or the different weather around the globe, a large number of different types of horse rugs are available. You may encounter all kinds of weather conditions as you ride, or may live in the most remote places, ready to plan any type of activity with your newfound friend, but you can always rest assured that you will find some purpose made equestrian rugs to help you.

Unfortunately, the fly is the mortal enemy of the horse. They are constantly attracted to the horse and often swarm around eyes, nose and ears relentlessly causing a lot of discomfort to the animal. This problem can be particularly prevalent at certain times of year, but almost always creates a cause of consternation for your horse during periods of rest.

Experts have been at work and have designed an appropriate fly rug to help you keep insects at bay. A fly rug is made from lightweight ingredients and is designed to stop the bug from penetrating and getting at the horse, without too much discomfort to the animal. There is a tail flap which is also purpose made and designed to be used with elastic surcingles, so as not to move around and become a safety issue.

Remember that flies can really irritate the horse in the head area and this is why you should incorporate a fly hood, which can be connected via a neck cover to the fly rug. This is a lightweight mesh item and your horse will be much happier that you have paid attention to his major concern!

It's up to you to ascertain whether the horse is comfortable or not at any one time. A horse whose tail is kept very close to its body and appears to be standing in a very rigid position may well be feeling the effects of the cold. Conversely, you should always check to see that the horse is not overly uncomfortable or sweating whenever it is wearing its blankets or rugs as well. A little bit of attention here at the appropriate times will soon bring you up to speed with what you need to do to keep your animal safe and comfortable.

The materials and quality of construction make the horse rug of today very sophisticated and very effective. The amigo rugs, for example, utilise a specific technology to ensure that the horse is effectively dry no matter what the weather condition. They come in a variety of categories according to weight, are renowned for being well-made and for their fit and are some of the most popular turnout rugs available today.

Masta rugs are also well renowned within equestrian circles. The product is specifically designed to repel water, while keeping your horse as comfortable as possible.

Always remember that you should have a variety of rugs available to you according to the specific requirements of your horse, the conditions and the weather. Ensure that the rug is well-fitted, that any fastenings do not cause particular discomfort to the animal and will not allow the rug to slip during movement.
