❤️ Mini IR3535 Fly-Repellent Dura Mesh Combo Horse Rug - Blue
❤️ Breathable Summer Comfort with Built-In Fly Protection
Designed especially for miniature horses and ponies, the Love My Horse Mini IR3535 Cotton & Fly-Repellent Mesh Hybrid Combo combines lightweight summer comfort with targeted insect protection where your horse needs it most.
A breathable poly cotton ripstop topline provides shade, airflow and everyday comfort, while IR3535-treated mesh panels help repel mosquitoes, midges, sandflies and biting flies around the lower body. The result is a practical, affordable summer rug that keeps your mini cooler, more comfortable and better protected during Australia's toughest fly season.
If you're looking for a budget-friendly alternative to a fully treated fly rug, this hybrid design offers the perfect balance of comfort, protection and value.
❤️ Built-In IR3535 Fly Repellent Technology
