Mesh Rugs are the perfect choice of rug for your horse throughout summer in Australia. They protect your horses from flies and insects, as well as offer UV protection. Another great aspect is they don’t hold water like a cotton or summer sheet rug would, so they can stay on in showers. At Horseland we have a huge mesh rug range, all made from a variety of different fabrics, designed to keep your horse cool in the summer months and keep biting and annoying insects off your horse. For the ultimate blend in comfort, durability and protection for your horse there are a number of different mesh rug styles in the Horseland range we’ll highlight below.
WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Ripshield Plus
One of our most popular mesh rugs from our range is the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Ripshield Plus. Made from a strong and durable fine mesh which has a 1200 denier polyester cross hatch which helps to control and limit tears but is also lightweight and breathable. This is the ideal choice for all the rug wreckers out there! You can buy this in the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Ripshield Plus Combo Neck or for the more sensitive horse we have the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Ripshield Plus With Belly Wrap Detach A Neck which provides extra protection around the belly and versatility with the Detach-A-Neck.
WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Supa-Fly Combo
Got a horse that REALLY hates bugs? The WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Supa-Fly Combo Neck is the mesh rug for them! Made from a super-strong lightweight mesh outer to keep your horse cool and protected from insects, a strong 75% UV block, and features our unique Insect Shield Technology, which is EPA-registered to repel mosquitoes, ticks, flies and fleas. The EPA is the government agency responsible for protecting human health and the environment and in order to carry this label, when a new product is developed it must be registered with the EPA which puts products through testing in order to be EPA approved. Therefore, you can be certain this technology provides long-lasting, effective and convenient personal insect protection which is the result of many years of research and testing. It’s important to note that although this technology remains effective in up to 25 washes, you should not dry clean as this will remove the active ingredient.
WeatherBeeta Dura-Mesh
Another top pick for our rug wreckers is the WeatherBeeta Dura-Mesh. Made from a cool and durable 460gms textline mesh which moulds to your horse’s body to ensure a comfortable fit. It also features up to 70% UV block and is ideal in unexpected showers. You can buy this in a number of styles including the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Dura-Mesh Combo Neck, WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Dura-Mesh Combo with PVC Strap Front and the WeatherBeeta Dura-Mesh Combo Neck With Freestyle Tail.
WeatherBeeta Airflow
If you’ve got a sensibly rugged horse that can be sensitive to bugs, the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Airflow Combo Neck is the one for them. Made from a soft and durable 255g polyester mesh, it offers high protection from UV (up to 75% UV block) flies and bugs. You can buy this in the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Airflow Combo Neck and the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Airflow Combo Neck with Freestyle Tail.
