    Product Description

    Full coverage fly rug for summer relief

    When the midges are out in force and the sun’s beating down, the Shires Highlander Plus Sweet-Itch Combo Fly Rug is your go-to for keeping your horse cool, calm and comfortable. This all-in-one fly rug offers serious protection from biting insects, sweet-itch flare-ups and harsh UV rays — ideal for turnout in the warmer months.

    Crafted from durable, breathable fabric, this sweet-itch rug is built for long days in the field. The lightweight material blocks up to 90% of UV rays, helping to prevent sunburn and coat bleaching while keeping your horse comfortable even on hot days. The extended neck design includes a stretch ear panel for a snug, secure fit that stays put while grazing, while the large pleated tail flap gives generous coverage right to the dock.

    The integrated belly flap adds another layer of defence, covering vulnerable underparts and fastening securely with adjustable straps. Buckle chest closures, deep shoulder gussets for freedom of movement, and reinforced straps make for a practical, secure fit that stands up to everyday wear.

    Available in crisp white with contrasting trim, this rug not only performs brilliantly but looks smart out in the field too.

    Whether your horse suffers from sweet-itch or just needs all-round protection in fly season, this rug’s a summer staple you’ll turn to year after year.
