Expertly designed to give your horse day-long summer turnout protection, the Horze Defender Fly Rug is UV-protective and features a superb zebra print design which offers head to tail protection from annoying and biting insects. Zebra stripes are a highly effective deterrent against flies as the contrasting stripes have been shown to confuse and deter insects, helping to reduce bites and irritation. Made from a fully breathable fabric to ensure your horse stays cool and comfortable, it is also quick to dry, should your horse get caught in a rain shower. With a Elastane insert at the base of the neck for added stretch and comfort, the Defender Fly Rug also features a smooth lining along the extra-long neck area and shoulder areas, to help prevent friction and ensure your horse is comfortable and protected, all summer long.
