A fly sheet or fly rug is a lightweight fine mesh rug that offers protection to horses at grass from flies and insects during the summer. Fly rugs most often have a belly flap that is fastened to both sides of the rug so as to give protection to the belly.

Many fly sheets available also include neck covers either as part of the fly sheet or as a separate product that can be attached to the rug. Some also have matching fly masks or bonnets for complete protection.

In addition to offering protection from flies during the summer a fly rug can also help to prevent sunburn on horses with sensitive pale skin, help to keep the coat free from dust and dirt, and help to prevent bleaching of the coat from the sun.
