Fly rug recommendations please

[Gentle_Warrior]

Thinking of investing in a fly rug. Horse is a chunky wide cob. He has mark todd turnouts which fit well.

Any recommendations? ? Ones to avoid?

Thanks in advance

Stick with Mark Todd, their fly sheets fit well, have a good sized belly flap,tail & neck cover. My horses have obe each & they've been wearing them for about 3 seasons without any issues.

Thanks Toby., which ones do you have ? He does not suffer sweet itch just looks uncomfortable with flies every summer

Thanks

Premier Equine are also generously sized.

The Rambo vamoose is excellent no rubs and plenty of protection and room for my Connemara.

Amigo XL bug rug is fab on my chunky cob.

I've just picked up a mark todd fly rug and I'm quite disappointed on the chest fitting! I thought it was be big like their turn outs but its still pretty narrow! my boy has a fair sized chest but he's not a chunky cob, so I'd probably get the next size up

but all the fly rugs I've seem have pretty rubbish chest width

I might give the amigo xl a try. The fact it is modeled on a cob helps loads! ! Can't always judge rugs when modeled on a TB !!

Have PM'd you.

I recently asked a similar question on here after struggling to find a fly rug to fit a cob - the main recommendations were shires / weatherbeeta / mark todd. Surprisingly neither the mark todd or shires fitted (was sure one of them would!), didn't get around to trying a weatherbeeta but then impulse bought an Amigo Bug Rug XL in a sale online, it arrived yesterday and fits her beautifully!! Definitely worth a try.
