Kentucky Fly Rug
Updated: May 2026 · Written by the Rincón del Valle Technical Team
Choosing between Kentucky anti-fly rugs requires understanding which need you are covering: stable, outdoor, fly protection, or drying. Each type has its moment.
What to consider when choosing a Kentucky anti-fly rug?
Below we review the technical criteria that have the most impact on the final decision. These are the same ones we apply in the store when a customer asks us.
- Weight. No fill (0g) for summer and drying, 100-200g for mid-season, 300-400g for winter. Clipped horses need more fill.
- Waterproofing. For outdoor use, it is measured in millimeters of water column: 1,500 mm minimum, 3,000 mm ideal for rainy areas like Galicia.
- Size. It is measured from the center of the chest to the base of the tail. That measurement in cm is the rug size (95 to 175 cm for standard horses).
- Closure system. Double cross surcingles for greater stability; tail cord optional but recommended for outdoor use.
