Equilibrium Field Relief Waterproof Fly Rug for Horses
Description
Equilibrium Field Relief Waterproof Fly Rug
The Equilibrium Field Relief Waterproof Fly Rug is a summer turnout rug that protects against flies and rain in one garment, using a unique, researched insect repellent hexagon design. It is best for horses and ponies turned out in changeable British weather, where a standard mesh fly rug would soak through.
Waterproof 1200D fabric is used across both the rug and the over-the-neck cover, and the neck cover detaches so you can adjust coverage as conditions change. Detachable leg straps and a wipe clean fillet string make it practical for everyday yard use. Browse more options in our fly rugs collection.

How to Use
- Measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the rear to find the correct rug size in feet and inches.
- Attach or remove the neck cover depending on the fly and weather conditions that day.
- Fold the rug and place it over the withers, then unfold it back along the body.
- Fasten the chest straps first, then the belly surcingles, then the leg straps.
- Check you can fit a hand's width under the chest and surcingle fastenings before turning out.
- Brush off dried mud and wipe the fillet string clean after use, then check straps for wear.
FAQ
Is the Field Relief fly rug fully waterproof?
The rug and the over-the-neck cover use a waterproof 1200D outer fabric, so it offers rain protection as well as fly cover during turnout.
Can the neck cover be removed?
Yes. The neck cover is separate and detachable, so you can use the rug with or without it depending on fly activity and the weather.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the rear. Use that figure in feet and inches. Sizes vary between brands, so measure rather than copying the size of an existing rug. If your horse is between sizes, the larger size usually gives more shoulder room.
Are the leg straps detachable?
Yes, the leg straps detach, so you can remove them if your horse does not need them or if you want to replace them.
How do I clean the rug?
Allow mud to dry then brush it off, and wipe the fillet string clean. Follow the care label on the rug and reproof as required to maintain water resistance.
Does the hexagon design really matter?
The hexagon pattern is a researched insect repellent design used across the Field Relief range, applied to both the rug body and the neck cover.
