HORSE RUG INSECT CONTROL MESH COMBO WILD HORSE at a glance

Using a unique patented process that tightly bonds insect protection deep into the fabric fibres of our Cool Mesh Combos.

Tests show that there is approximately 92% of the treatment remaining after 6 months of weathering and 25 detergent washes.

EPA approved treatment can remain effective for 2-3 years.

Features:

Super Cool Mesh fabric is the coolest option made with strong yarns but still offering an open hole weave to allow airflow.

Insect Control treated fabric.

A lighter, cooler option for the hotter days.

Combo has attached neck piece.

Super cool Airflow Mesh fabric in silver/grey colour.

The superior design with contoured backline and double cross surcingles ensure this rug stays in place.

Extra length in neck for comfort.

Better fitting options at the chest to allow for more adjustment and to help prevent creep back, which leaves exposed buckles against horses skin.

Quality webbing and heavy duty buckles.

Extended chest & shoulder dart lining protection to alleviate rubbing.

Extended fleece on wither pressure point to help prevent oedemas which are a common problem caused by poorly designed rugs.

O-Rings on belly straps.

Generous and shaped tail flap provides great rump protection.

Made for Australian horses and climates.

Fit the insect control mesh rug over the horse's back and secure all closures in sequence: chest, belly surcingles, and hind leg straps. The rug should sit comfortably over the withers and hindquarters without pressure points. Adjust surcingles to allow 2-3 hand widths of clearance from the belly. The mesh construction allows airflow while creating a physical barrier against flies and insects. Tips: Mesh combo rugs work best as part of an integrated insect management program alongside repellents for exposed areas (face, legs). Check and clean the rug weekly during fly season — a dirty mesh doesn’t provide the same barrier effectiveness. Match the rug size to the horse’s body length measured from chest to hindquarters for the best fit and coverage.
