Here we take a look at the best fly rugs for horses for summer 2026… We have selected a handful of rugs with a sensible budget in mind. All rugs shown here are priced at under £70 (as we can appreciate money can sometimes be tight) alongside quality.
A note: Rugs cover a large area of your horse. However, it’s worthwhile considering a spray or gel on those parts that are still exposed to the sun and flies alongside a good quality sunscreen.
