Fly rugs

[Caol Ila]

I need a new fly rug. I want it to be zebra striped (because science) and ideally have a belly flap. I just bought and now have to return a Bucas zip off rug because it's way too tight in the shoulders.

My horse is an odd rug fit because she has a long Tb body but powerful Shire shoulders. Any recommendations?

Avoid the "best on horse" one if your girl has big shoulders, they are an awful fit for bigger shoulder imo.
DH has a bee print one just now.. it looks fabulous and their rugs fit my boy and his shoulders well 👍

The "best on horse" one was looking cheap and tempting on Amazon. Cheers for the warning!

I bought Alf one of the Best on Horse ones...

Does it work or is it unbuckled for a reason?

I love my Shires Fly rugs.

Didn't even come close to doing up across his chest!

I've bought an HKM one. It has a shoulder gusset so it might work.

I like the Shires but it's not gussetted. She doesn't seem to fit non-gussetted rugs

HKM does one with shoulder gussets...oh I've just seen you've bought one.

Loveson do one two; I think there's tend to be slightly roomier.

I've found the one my friend has. This fits her ID beautifully.

I have the Bucas Buzz off one, no zips. My lad has massive shoulders - the rug is snug (all rugs are snug on his shoulders!)but perfectly ok, 2 years old and going strong.

I think kramer do one no idea on fit though as never bought one of there rugs.
