Fly & Sweet Itch Rugs

Fly and sweet itch rugs are designed to protect horses from biting insects while reducing irritation and rubbing during warmer months. At Townfields, this category is built around practical summer management rather than short-term fixes. Fly rugs provide a lightweight barrier against flies and midges while allowing airflow, helping horses remain settled in the field. Sweet itch rugs offer extended coverage, including neck and belly protection, to support horses prone to seasonal skin reactions. Choosing the correct design can make a significant difference to comfort and condition through spring and summer. Our range includes lightweight mesh fly rugs and full-coverage sweet itch rugs, selected for durability, fit and secure fastening. As a family-run equestrian business established in 1963, Townfields understands how these rugs are used in real turnout environments. The focus remains on protection that works consistently across changing weather and varying insect pressure.
