Kentucky Anti-Fly Rug
Updated: May 2026 · Written by the Rincón del Valle technical team
Kentucky anti-fly sheets play a key role in a horse's well-being. They protect against the cold, rain, insects, or aid in drying after exercise.
What to consider when choosing a Kentucky anti-fly sheet?
Below, we review the technical criteria that have the most impact on the final decision. These are the same criteria we apply in the store when a customer asks us for advice.
- Weight. No fill (0g) for summer and drying, 100-200g for transitional seasons, 300-400g for winter. Clipped horses need more fill.
- Waterproofing. For outdoor use, measured in millimeters of water column: 1,500 mm minimum, 3,000 mm ideal for rainy areas like Galicia.
- Size. Measured from the center of the chest to the base of the tail. That measurement in cm is the blanket size (95 to 175 cm for standard horses).
- Closure system. Double cross surcingles for greater stability; tail strap optional but recommended for outdoor use.
