Premium Horse Summer Sheets
During the summer months when there is a slight breeze, a horse summer sheet is the ideal solution to keep your horse clean. Whether you need a horse summer sheet for travelling, after exercise in the summer or as part of a layering system, owning a summer sheet for your horse is an ideal addition to their wardrobe.
One of the most popular rugs in our horse’s summer sheet range is the Summer/Cotton Sheet Standard with Tail Flap and Shoulder, which has been carefully designed with the horse’s comfort in mind. The soft nylon lining on the chest area is perfect for helping to prevent any friction and rubbing. These horse summer sheets are made from high-quality 400gsm cotton that is both soft and hard-wearing, providing a long-lasting piece that also keeps appearance in mind. This horse summer sheet is also machine washable in warm/cool water and should be dried naturally, so any stable stains can be washed out with ease.
Another horse summer sheet in our range is the Cotton/Summer Combo Rug with Tail Flap which comes with the benefit of shoulder gussets for greater freedom of movement and to help prevent rubbing. The tail flap is an excellent addition to the horse summer sheet, especially for horses that are prone to rubbing their tails when travelling or stabled. The combo neck on this horse summer sheet has double Velcro fastenings and elastic at the poll, which helps to keep the neck in place.
Effective Fly Sheets For Horses
Fly sheets for horses come with multiple advantages for horses turned out in the spring and summer months. Mosquitoes, flies, and other biting insects can irritate horses and are more than a nuisance! One of the best ways to help protect your horse from flies and insects is to use fly masks which come with and without ears and fly sheets. Their lightweight and breathable properties allow your horse to spend time in the fields without having to worry about bugs. Working as a physical barrier between your horse and the flies, fly sheets for horses work by protecting your horse from being bitten, as the material is lightweight enough to keep your horse cool but tough enough to not let any bugs get in!
In addition to protecting your horse from flies, we have created fly sheets for horses with UV protection, so your horse doesn’t get sun-bleached coats or painful sunburn. The UV Combo Fly Rug with Belly Band is made from a tightly woven fabric that works by providing horses with UV reflection, whilst keeping the insects away too! This rug allows your horse to spend as much time on the grass as you choose, without you having to worry about them getting irritated by flies or being damaged by the sun’s rays.
Our range of fly sheets for horses includes the Combo Fly Rug with a Waterproof Panel that is perfect for warm, but showery weather in the summer months. This panel offers protection to the top line of the horse and helps to eliminate the risk of the coat experiencing discolouration. With our extensive range of fly sheets for horses, you can even ride in one, as we all know how irritating it is when the bugs annoy your horse whilst you’re trying to work them! The Ride on Combo Fly Rug is made from a tough, soft, and close weave mesh, which helps to keep your horse cool, but protected as you ride. Like the rest of our range, including our stable rugs and turnout rugs, this fly sheet is machine washable and comes in a zipped bag with handles, so you can store the rug in the winter when it’s not needed.
