Clydesdale Summer Heavy Horse Rugs

Clydesdale Summer Horse Rugs – Lightweight & Fly Protection for Big Horses

Finding summer rugs that genuinely fit Clydesdales and other big horses can be difficult, with standard rugs often lacking coverage, airflow and proper chest fit.

Our Clydesdale summer horse rugs are designed for big and heavy horses, with breathable fabrics, generous chest room and longer drop for full coverage and comfort in warm Australian conditions.

Built for airflow, movement and protection, our range includes lightweight summer sheets, mesh fly rugs and hybrid styles designed to keep larger horses cool without restricting movement.

Designed to reduce chest restriction and improve freedom of movement, our rugs provide a more comfortable fit for larger horses in warm conditions.
