Fly rugs and eczema rugs
During summer, flies, horseflies and other insects are everywhere. Protect your horse from annoying insects and itching with QHP fly rugs and eczema rugs. Thanks to the fine mesh fabric, the rugs are breathable and comfortable to wear during summer.
Fly rugs
Many horse owners use a fly rug to protect their horse from flies during summer. Fly rugs are available in various colours and prints, including zebra print. Research shows that zebra stripes can help keep flies at a distance because the striped patterns reflect light. This can irritate insects, making them less likely to land on your horse.
There are also fly rugs with a waterproof upper section. These are ideal for horses that stay outside day and night during summer.
Eczema rugs
Just like a fly rug, an eczema rug protects your horse from fly bites. An eczema rug also specifically protects your horse against bites from Culicoides midges. These midges can cause an allergic reaction in horses. Eczema rugs also protect your horse from sunlight, and some models offer UV protection.
Accessories
With accessories, you can give your horse even more protection against irritation caused by insects. For example, you can use a fly mask or fly fringe.
