Flies and midges can cause lots of irritation and discomfort for horses during the spring and summer months. Some horses are extremely sensitive to fly bites and can come up in lots of lumps and bumps which are painful and can lead to further problems. Fly bites can also prevent your horse from being ridden, especially if the bites are in sensitive areas where the tack would be positioned.

Fly Rugs and Sweet Itch Rugs are a great way to protect your horse from bothersome flies and midges. They provide a protective barrier between your horse and nuisance insects to prevent irritation and bites. Some fly rugs and sweet itch also offer protection from damaging UV rays. They come in various styles with different levels of cover and protection, some with belly flaps and large tails flaps, some with detachable neck covers depending on your horse’s individual needs.
