Mesh Horse Rugs
Mesh horse rugs for cool, breathable summer protection
When summer heats up, your horse needs a rug that breathes. Our mesh rugs are designed to provide maximum airflow, helping your horse stay cool and comfortable while also protecting them from the sun, heat and pesky insects. Perfect for riding or the paddock, Caribu’s mesh rugs offer lightweight coverage with smart features built for Australian summers.
Made from durable, lightweight mesh and lined with soft wither fleece for comfort, these rugs come in combo and hooded styles for all-over protection. The breathable design ensures air circulation, regulating body temperature even on the hottest days.
Choose from trusted brands like Caribu and Kingsley, with Kingsley offering budget-friendly alternatives. Many rugs also include reflective features for added night visibility.
What’s the difference between combo and hooded mesh rugs?
Combo mesh rugs cover both the body and neck in one piece, while hooded rugs include a separate hood attachment. Both offer extended sun and insect protection.
Are mesh rugs suitable for paddock use?
Yes, our mesh rugs are made from tough, breathable fabric that’s durable enough for paddock conditions and gentle enough for extended wear.
Our popular Euro and Euro Lite ranges are available in various sizes, including mini options for smaller horses and XL gussets for broader chests.
Do mesh rugs offer insect protection?
Absolutely. The fine weave of the mesh helps keep flies, mozzies and midges off your horse while still allowing for excellent air circulation.
Can mesh rugs cause overheating?
Not when fitted correctly. Mesh rugs are specifically designed for summer with lightweight materials that enhance airflow and help manage heat.
