Hi,
Does anyone use a ride on fly rug? Do they work or dothey bother the horse?
I cant decide wether to buy one or not.
Thanks
 
I got one a few days ago cos the horse flies out hacking were everywhere. Used it and he was so much happier. Wearing the rug didn't bother him and the flies didn't either. I got the Horseware Fly Rider one.
 
I don't have a fly rug version but have noticed that my two are so much happier when I have a hi-viz mesh sheet on them, so imagine the fly rug would be similar if not better!
 
My poor boy gets hounded by the cleggs here. Its only really bad for one month a year (July) but they make his life a misery. His fly rug solves all of that - although it does nothing for his streed cred ;). It was a cheapo off ebay - I think its HKM make but I've never seen one again. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My only comment would be dont buy the white option - we look like we are auditioning for a part in a Medieval movie ;)
