Summer Horse Rugs, Combos & Attached Hoods

Summer horse rugs to keep your horse cool, covered and protected

When the heat kicks in, a reliable summer rug is a must-have for your horse’s comfort and skin protection. Our Caribu summer rugs are designed to provide breathable coverage without trapping heat — helping to shield your horse from sun, flies and biting insects while staying cool in the harsh Australian climate.

From lightweight mesh designs to UV-blocking flag materials and durable hybrid rugs, you’ll find options to suit every horse and paddock setup. Whether your horse needs all-day fly protection or just light coverage during peak heat hours, these rugs offer airflow, comfort and coverage where it counts.

Lightweight, breathable and made for Aussie conditions

Caribu’s summer horse rugs are crafted from high-quality materials like mesh, ripstop and polycotton blends to suit different climates and coat types. Our fly rugs are perfect for insect-prone areas, while our flag rugs offer soft, lightweight protection for sensitive horses. Hybrid summer rugs combine the best of both worlds — offering strategic coverage and extra durability across the back or shoulders where wear is more common.

Each rug is designed with airflow in mind to help prevent sweat build-up and rubbing. Hooded rug styles are available for horses needing full-coverage fly protection. Whether you’re paddocking through a heatwave or just want everyday summer comfort, our collection has you (and your horse) covered.
