which fly rug to buy?

[mrsjcmking]

Hi

I need to buy a fly rug for my pony. It needs to be hardwearing as there is barbed wire in his field which tends to tear their rugs to shreds (I don't like it but for £12 a week livery I can't really complain!) But i'm on a budget as I'm also trying to buy all his show bits for this summer

He is in a 5'3 rug and i really want to get him either a fixed or detachable neck cover as last year he got bitten so bad that i've only just been able to groom him again (didn't like it with all the fly bites). I also need to get him a mask as he's a spotted and his eyes got infected last year and just wouldn't clear

Any suggestions, ideally for under £40

or do you know any good places to buy them?

Thanks
