Equilibrium Waterproof Fly Rug

Waterproofing is essential for keeping horses dry and comfortable, especially during prolonged turnout. The Endure Turnout Rug is made with a 1680D Oxford outer that has been independently tested by Intertek to a waterproof rating of 8,000mm — a level designed to withstand heavy and sustained rain. This means the rug can resist water pressure equivalent to an 8-metre column of water before leaking, ensuring reliable protection in all weather conditions. It's the peace of mind you need, rain or shine

When it comes to rugs, denier refers to the thickness and strength of the fibres used in the outer fabric — and the higher the number, the tougher the material. The Endure Turnout Rug & Field Relief Waterproof Fly Rug use a 1680D outer, making it one of the most durable options on the market. This high denier count means the rug is better equipped to resist rips, tears, and wear from rolling, biting, or rugged turnout conditions.

Researchers around the world have been curious as to why flies do not cause zebras as much distress as other animals. There are several theories for this including light polarisation, pattern contrast, pattern size and aliasing (misidentified visual signals that affect landing).

Research carried out by professors from the University of Bristol in 2020 showed that certain patterns, such as black and white checkered rugs had fewer horse fly landings compared to a plain grey rug. This research was expanded on and in 2023 an article was published that supported the hypothesis that checkerboard black and white patterns had significantly fewer landings than uniform grey material.
