If you are browsing our full range of fly rugs, this model stands out as a versatile, all in one solution for turnout during warmer months.

Dual Protection, Waterproof Top Meets Fly Mesh Comfort

The Shires Highlander Plus Waterproof Fly Combo Rug is built to handle both sunshine and sudden showers. The upper section features durable ShireTex 600 denier waterproof, breathable ripstop fabric, designed to keep your horse dry during unexpected rain.

The lower section is made from lightweight maxi flow mesh, which allows air to circulate freely while protecting your horse from flies and biting insects. This clever combination removes the need to swap rugs throughout the day, saving time while keeping your horse comfortable.

Built for Coverage and Comfort

This rug is designed with full coverage in mind, helping to shield your horse from flies, rain and sun exposure. Key features include integrated neck cover with secure touch close fastenings for extended protection, generous adjustable belly flap for improved coverage underneath, buckled double breast straps for a secure and adjustable fit, shoulder gussets to allow freedom of movement in the field, fillet string to help keep the rug in place, and a large tail flap for added protection against insects and rain.

These practical design elements make the Shires Highlander Plus a reliable choice for horses turned out for long periods.

UV Protection for Summer Turnout

With up to 90% UV protection, this waterproof fly rug helps to shield your horse from harmful sun rays. This is particularly useful for preventing sunburn and coat bleaching during the warmer months, especially for horses with sensitive skin or lighter coats.

The breathable construction also helps regulate temperature, keeping your horse cool while still protected.

Lightweight, Breathable and Practical

Despite its durable waterproof top section, the Shires Highlander Plus remains lightweight and comfortable for everyday wear. The breathable materials help reduce overheating, while the mesh panels encourage airflow across the body.

This makes it a great option for turnout in mixed weather conditions, horses prone to flies and irritation, and owners looking for a low maintenance summer rug solution.

Easy Care and Maintenance

The Shires Highlander Plus Sage Waterproof Fly Combo Rug is machine washable, making it easy to keep clean and fresh throughout the season. Regular washing helps maintain performance and ensures your horse stays comfortable.

Who the Shires Highlander Plus Waterproof Fly Combo Rug Is Ideal For

Thanks to its combination of waterproof protection, fly defence and breathable comfort, this rug is ideal for horses turned out in changeable summer weather, owners wanting a dual purpose waterproof fly rug, horses sensitive to flies and UV exposure, and everyday field use during spring and summer.

For horse owners looking for a practical, protective and breathable solution, the Shires Highlander Plus Sage Waterproof Fly Combo Rug offers excellent value and all day comfort in one smart design.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

If you have lots of items in your basket, please use the longest product availability message to work out when your order will arrive.  We care about our environmental impact, so we don't split ship orders unless you get in touch to request that we do so.  We will let you know on your order confirmation when we expect your order will arrive with you.

Whilst we do our best to meet the handling times stated in the product availability message, occasionally we can experience some delays in the delivery network.  At these times, a team member will email you to keep you updated on the progress of your order.

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not change our expected handling times; the service selected is always from the point of despatch not purchase.

If you do require an order urgently, please contact us before ordering to ensure we can accommodate your requirements as we hate to be party poopers!

Which couriers do you use?

Before choosing a courier, please make sure you are happy with the product availability message as these handling times apply before we ship your order.  If it doesn’t show “Express warehouse: immediate despatch”, it will not leave us on the same day you have placed the order.

FedEx and DPD are delivered next working day from point of despatch for UK mainland addresses or in two working days for Scottish Highlands, Islands, Northern Ireland, and Irish addresses.  You will receive a text message and an email confirming the day for delivery. 

Selecting FedEx or DPD does not mean your order will bypass our handling times; FedEx and DPD are from the point of despatch, not the point of purchase.
