Horses with dark coats can get extremely hot in direct sunshine. Black horses in particular can fade, but also can lose salt through excess sweating in the summer heat. A pale cotton sheet can help them stay cool, especially a summer rug with mesh sides.

Some horses are more bothered than others by flies in summer and can get anxious. You may also wish to prevent bot flies from laying on your horse's coat and mane. Our patterned mesh fly rugs are designed to deter flies and biting insects from bothering your horses.

There's nothing like washing your horse (especially a grey!) and watching them drop and roll in the muddiest corner of the field. With a summer combo cotton sheet you can turn out your horse without knowing you'll be up early washing them all over again before the show!
