Fly rug recommendations for the stumpier equine

[DabDab]

Little connemara knickers is really struggling with the flies atm - lots of running about at times and itching her tail and neck. I would like to get her a little fly rug just to keep her a bit more comfortable, but I'm not sure what brand/model would fit her, so am hoping that you lovely people may have some good recommendations.

She's never worn a rug so I'm not sure how she'll take to it, but she dives into her fly mask of a morning so I'm hoping she'll learn the benefit pretty quickly. She's built a bit like a trad cob - about 14.1hh, broad everywhere, croup high, table top back, broad deep chest, short neck, and I'd guess about 5'6" rug size.

Any ideas?

Shires are worth a look. I try to get a model that has adjustable straps at the chest and decent sized anti rub material on the shoulders.

Horsewear mio fly rugs are good too but come up small so buy a size bigger

agree with Mios and going a size up, I also really like the Rambo Protectors if they're not actually sweet-itchy.
