My dear old boy is very thin skinned and everything rubs his shoulders especially in the summer. I have tried using a bib to help with the fly rug rubbing but not only does it not seem to work but also makes him very hot. He is currently wearing a Rambo Bug Buster, his Weatherbeeta rubbed him and so did the Boett style rug.

Bit at my wits end as he hates the flies with a passion so needs to wear something for protection.

Anyone found a really well fitting one with extra padding at the front?

My easily rubbed TB had a ruggles fly rug last year,I was fully expecting rubs as everything rubs him. I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't rub at all. I sold it on as managed to get a Rambo fly rug in January sales, Rambo turnouts fit him well so I hope I won't regret getting rid of the ruggles rug!
