Summer Horse Rugs, Sheets & Combos

Shop summer horse rugs, cotton sheets and lightweight combos for warm-weather coverage. Our range includes breathable mesh and synthetic designs, traditional cotton rugs, jute styles, combos, hoods and neck rugs from Zilco and FinnTack.

Summer rugs can be used for different purposes, including providing light paddock coverage, helping keep the coat clean or offering a physical barrier against insects. Features vary considerably between products, so check the individual listing for details about fabric, airflow, coverage, fastenings and intended use. Not every summer rug provides the same level of insect or sun protection.

Choose a style suited to your horse, climate and management conditions. Cotton and jute rugs differ from open-weave or mesh designs in weight, airflow and durability, while combos provide additional neck coverage. Consider the temperature, humidity, available shade and the horse’s tolerance of heat before rugging.

Follow the manufacturer’s measuring guide, as sizing and fit can vary between brands and styles. The rug should sit securely without restricting the shoulders or rubbing the withers, chest or hips. Remove it regularly to check for heat, sweating, skin irritation, damage and trapped dirt.

For cooler or unsettled conditions, browse our mid season horse rugs. You can also explore fly masks, ear bonnets and hoods and rug accessories for additional coverage and replacement fittings.
