The Royce is Imperial Riding's fly-exercise blanket — a lightweight, 100% polyester rug built to be ridden in, not just left on turnout. The breathable mesh construction includes UV protection and quick-dry properties, so it copes with a sweaty schooling session as well as it copes with a day in the field.That's really what separates an exercise blanket from a standard fly rug: Royce is cut to stay put and stay comfortable with a rider on board, protecting against flies and biting insects through the ride rather than needing to come off first. The chest fastens with a three-point buckle, Velcro and hook closure, quick to do up and secure enough not to shift around during work. The UV protection does double duty against coat bleaching over a full summer of turnout, too.Royce comes in Silver Grey across a genuinely broad size run — 125cm right up to 215cm — covering pony, cob, full and extra-full outlines, so it's worth checking the size guide before you order. It's a straightforward piece of kit for anyone riding through fly season: light enough not to overheat your horse, built to survive daily use for the whole summer.
