Epic Classic Dri-Fly Rug - Broad Fit - Sunrise
Ideal for medium+, heavy horses / ponies & draft breeds
For those unpredictable days when it's sunshine one minute and light showers the next, our Classic Dri-Fly Rug delivers dual protection from biting insects and light rain — designed specifically for broader, heavier horses, keeping them fully protected no matter the forecast.
Unlike off-the-shelf sizing, every rug in our Broad Fit range is developed using measurements taken from real broader, heavier horses — so the fit is precise, not guesswork. Our fit-first design gives your horse complete freedom of movement, with a larger cut neckline to accommodate a broader chest, thick muscular neck and big shoulders. Lower chest fastenings that follow your horse's natural shape, eliminating pressure at the neck and over the wither. Extra large shoulder gussets give your horse unrestricted comfort without tightness or rubbing. The fixed integrated neck cover, designed specifically for muscular necks and long manes, features an extended length to match your horse's natural neck extension as they graze, preventing any gaps for biting insects to get in.
No more mini skirts! All of our rugs have the correct rug depth so your horse is fully covered and protected from the elements, including a substantial tail flap.
Pair with our Classic PVC Fly Mask or Classic Nylon Fly Mask for more coverage and protection

Customers praised this waterproof fly rug for its exceptional fit on broad-chested horses, particularly Clydesdales, cobs, and shire crosses. Shoppers loved the "generous shoulder room" and "long neck" design that prevents gaps. The lightweight, robust mesh and waterproof panel provide excellent protection. Some noted sizing runs large. One concern: potential sweating in very warm weather.
I love big horse shop rugs - firstly… they fit!!
No mini skirts - no tight necks - they do what they say they do!
Bought two for the Clydesdale boys - one is wrecking his - lovely helper is busy sewing it back up - which works - the other is un sabotaged!
The only minor complaint is that I absolutely hate the colour orange… more choice - or a different colour for next year please 🙏
Another excellant rug purchased from the big horse shop
Buddy has a wardrobe of Big Horse rugs, he is a bit of a rug trasher, so at the age of 32 he needed yet another rug....which fits him well....and which so far it is in pristine condition....The image is of Harmony who is 18 and this is hers when it was clean....
Love this rug, colour looks amazing, my girl is a chunky 15hh cob usually in 6.6 however with the broad fit of this rug went to a 6.3’ 🥰
Wirklich eine super Decke die endlich auch mal passt, bei meiner Friesen x Vlaams Paard Mixstute. Perfekt für unbeständiges Wetter. Ein Bauchlatz wäre noch toll, damit die Fliegen nicht an Bauch kommen.
Delivered the next day. Fits perfectly & gives my cob loads of room around the shoulders & chest.
Just fantastic service and products - the new fly rug fits my chunky boy perfect- like all the rugs. Lightweight nice long neck perfect!
Never had one before, She is a big lass. Works great for her. Bought another to use while ones being washed
I had a great experience with this company. They were very accomodating when I needed a rug fast. This rug is great quality and fits brilliantly. It is a broad fit so will grow with my horse. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them in the future.
An excellent rug for the ups and downs of the British weather! I've had other brands and this one tops them all, especially with the broad fit option for the chunkier models
My order was sent soon, also I became answer about my questions and the epic classic draw fit is in a good qulity and it fit our biggest shire horse Jack ! I´m so happy that I have found these shop who has clothings for shire horses!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never seen it bevor. I will order further only at these shop . Thanks!!!
This is a great rug which fits very comfortably. I love the way it gives room for my horse’s big neck and it is very good value. My only complaint is that it hasn’t rained yer 😂
The Best!
I have been buying my rugs from The Big Horse Shop for the last 4yrs as they are just perfect for my 3/4 Clyde. Super quality, fast delivery and thoughtfully designed.
Fits beautifully, stunning colour
Lovely quality rug
Another great rug, the neck seems bigger than on the equivalent NZ rugs. But it stayed put
Really pleased with this rug. excellent quality and fit (broad fit on 14.3 Irish cob) Mesh part is very robust compared to previous waterproof fly rugs I've tried and up to the usual high standard of all the Epic rugs I've bought.
Great fit, not used yet. I’ve become a convert to this brand as they actually fit my 18.1 warmblood.
My little cob is like a cube. He’s as broad as he’s long and this rug is the only one I’ve found that gives shoulder room.
They fit our Highland ponies very well.
I struggle to get rugs with enough shoulder room but this rug is perfect
Lovely rug fits perfect difficult to obtain rugs for his size over here. Keeps his back dry with all the rain. Excellent service thank you
Excellent rug! Fits my 17.2 shire-cross perfectly, broad chest, big shoulders & bum. He's sensitive skinned and prone to sarcoids so the longer neck ensures there's no gaps near his fly mask when grazing. The rug's very lightweight so he doesn't get hot and the waterproof strip protects him from rain scald. I love a bit of hi-viz so the "Sunrise" colour was my perfect choice!
Very efficient delivery, I purchased the 5’9” fly rug after measuring my pony twice along with the sizing, usually buy a 6’3” or 6’6”. Only just started to use this rug but do think a size or two larger would be more room around her shoulders.
Finally found a rug that actually fits my big girl! Superior quality, beautifully made and an excellent service. Love it!
Fits my large 18.2H Clydesdale so well! And has lasted more than one season!
