I'm looking to buy some fly rugs in the near future. My mare gets especially irritated on her inner thighs and near her teats. Does anyone know which rug if any protects this area....e.g...elasticated / tight fitting around the back thighs ? Please. Thanks in advance x

My lad is extremely irritated by flies. He is in a fly rig march-November but his rug doesn’t cover his belly, and inside hind legs and sheath. Last summer I used neem oil. It STINKS but definitely kept the flies off the areas unprotected by his rug
 
Hi have you seen the Snuggy Hoods udder cover? I haven't used it myself but a friend has one for her mare and she seems to like it. Apparently if you ring them they will explain to you how to attach it to your existing fly rug so you don't have to buy their expensive one if you don't need it.

Hope you find something that works!

We got one of these but the mare always managed to wee in it :(
