It’s no secret we LOVE Horseware rugs at Hewitt & Whitty Saddlery and the Rambo Airflow is no exception. Proven to be a top seller this season this rug boosts a V-front front closure, which means it suits all shapes and sizes!
This rug has super light polycotton panels combined with a quality net mesh for superior airflow and cooling on those really hot days. Like all Horseware rugs, the Rambo Airflow also has a detachable neck, satin mane & shoulder lining and cross surcingles. And you see the binding up the neck? This helps keep the neck piece from slipping down when you horse raises its head. This is one super summer sheet- packed full of features!
We all know summer means flies. Lots of flies. The Australian made Flyveils By Design flyveils are (in our opinion) the simplest, most effective and cheapest flyveils. Trust us- This is what we have on our horses right now!
Choose from the 70%+ UV blackout mesh in the budget flymask or for those horses with pink skin needing some extra protection, choose the 100% UV Blackout flymask (no more sunburnt noses). All come with eye darts for a quality fit, adjustable head strap and velcro chin band. Choosing the right size is easy. Just grab the same size as you use in a halter or bridle.
We all know that some horse are extra sensitive to flies around their legs and we want to avoid any excessive ‘leg stamping’ and avoid leg, hoof or shoeing problems. The Horseware fly boots are the perfect solution for leg protection from UV, flies and other biting insects.
Slim fitting, ultra-lightweight and breathable mesh with a super soft fleece edging to stop both rubbing and flies getting under the boot. With 4 adjustable straps you can almost tailor the fit for your horse.
However please be aware these may be a great idea if your horse is turned out in long grass – these will be grass seed magnets.
4 SPECTRUM ELECTROLYTE B PASTE

Stated by a couple of Aussie vets, who would tell you that having some electrolytes on hand in summer is never a bad thing. The Electrolyte B paste contains 11 different vitamins and 6 key minerals and is formulated to replace these nutrients that are lost through sweat during exercise and travel.
