Breathable Mesh Construction

During warmer weather, airflow is essential for keeping horses comfortable.

The EP Essential Mesh Combo uses a lightweight mesh construction that allows air to circulate around the horse while still providing useful coverage.

This makes it particularly suitable for horses requiring protection from annoying flies and insects without trapping unnecessary heat underneath the rug.

Combo Neck for Extra Coverage

The combo neck design extends coverage from the body over the horse's neck.

This provides additional physical protection against:

• Flies
• Biting insects
• Dust
• Dirt
• Everyday paddock exposure

The extended neck coverage also makes the rug a practical option for horses whose owners want greater overall protection than a standard-neck mesh rug can provide.

Ideal for Fly & Insect Season

Warm weather often means increased numbers of flies and other irritating insects around horses.

The EP Essential Mesh Combo provides a physical barrier between the horse's coat and insects, helping reduce direct contact while your horse is in the paddock, yard or stable.

For horses particularly bothered by flies, the rug can be combined with an appropriate fly mask and equine insect repellent for more comprehensive summer protection.

Ideal for Everyday Summer Use

The lightweight and breathable design makes the EP Essential Mesh Combo an excellent option for regular use throughout the warmer months.

It's particularly useful for:

• Summer paddock turnout
• Stable use
• Yard use
• Warm spring days
• Fly season
• Horses requiring lightweight coverage
• Keeping coats cleaner
• Everyday horse management

Keeping Your Horse Comfortable

Mesh rugs are designed primarily to provide airflow and insect protection rather than warmth.

Always select a rug according to the individual horse and current weather conditions.

Regularly check your horse underneath the rug to ensure they remain comfortable and that the rug is fitting correctly.

Rug Fit

Correct rug fit is important for both comfort and performance.

The rug should sit comfortably around the horse's chest and shoulders without excessive pressure or restriction.

Check that:

• The shoulders have sufficient movement
• The chest isn't excessively tight
• Straps are correctly adjusted
• Leg and surcingle straps are secure but not restrictive
• The rug doesn't pull backwards excessively
• The neck section sits comfortably

Check the rug regularly for signs of rubbing, particularly around the shoulders, withers, chest and neck.

Care Instructions

To help extend the life of your EP Essential Mesh Combo:

• Remove loose dirt and hair regularly
• Follow the manufacturer's washing instructions on the product label
• Secure straps and fastenings before washing
• Avoid harsh chemicals unless recommended
• Allow the rug to dry thoroughly before storage
• Store in a clean, dry location
• Inspect straps, buckles and stitching regularly
