Shires
Tempest Original Waterproof Fly Rug
Measure your horse before you go out to your local tack shop. This can be done with a tape measure. Simply put one end of the tape in the centre of your horse’s chest and the other end on the horse's buttocks where you would expect the rug to finish.
Horse rugs are sized in centimetres, inches or feet and inches - make sure you check what size rug you are getting as a 66" will not fit a 6'6" horse.
When you've bought the rug, take it home and try it on your horse over a clean bedsheet or clean summer sheet - make sure you leave all the tags on. If the rug fits then remove the tags and use, if not, you might be able to return the rug to the retail outlet you purchased it from as long as it is in a saleable condition- check with your retailer at the time you purchase the rug.

Ideal for changeable warm weather when flies are a problem, the Shires Tempest Original Waterproof Fly Rug has a ripstop top section that allows rainwater to run off. The ultra-breathable side panels allow free transfer of air to keep the horse cool while grazing. Half lined for comfort and offering high UV protection while also blocking biting insects, this rug is designed with summer grazing in mind. The adjustable cross surcingles and double buckle chest fastenings allow you to achieve a secure fit.
The top section offers up to 90% UV protection - effectiveness may diminish over time. Test carried out in accordance to BS EN 13758-1:2002+A1:2006.
