Why Choose Love My Horse Dura Mesh Rugs?
If your horse destroys lightweight mesh rugs every summer, a heavier-duty option can make all the difference.
Love My Horse Dura Mesh horse rugs are made from tough 410gsm open-weave polyester mesh, designed to withstand rough paddock conditions while still allowing continuous airflow to help keep horses cool and comfortable during hot Australian summers.
The dense mesh construction provides excellent durability, UV protection and insect defence without trapping heat, making Dura Mesh ideal for horses that are hard on rugs or need reliable long-term summer coverage.
Available in standard neck, combo and selected IR3535 fly-repellent styles, with sizes from miniature horses through to Clydesdales.
UV Defence with Breathability
The tightly woven, open-weave mesh provides effective UV defence while still allowing continuous airflow across the horse’s body.
This balance helps reduce sun bleaching and heat build-up, keeping your horse cooler, drier, and more comfortable during hot, high-UV summer conditions.
Comfort-Focused Fit & Movement
Designed to move with your horse, Love My Horse Dura Mesh rugs feature:
- Shoulder gussets to allow unrestricted stride and freedom of movement
- Satin-lined shoulders and mane areas to help reduce rubbing and hair loss
- Adjustable chest and body fastenings for a secure, comfortable fit that stays in place
Extended Summer Coverage
Available in combo styles, Love My Horse Dura Mesh rugs provide extended coverage across the neck and shoulders — key areas most exposed to sun, insects, and rubbing.
The added coverage supports long days in the paddock while maintaining airflow, comfort, and freedom of movement.
