A Bucas sweet itch rug is THE solution for horses sensitive to sweet itch. By using strong, tightly woven material, these rugs prevent midges (especially culicoides) from reaching the skin. This keeps your horse protected from itching, scratching, and skin irritation during the insect season.
The well-known Bucas Sweet Itch Zebra offers full coverage: from ears to tail and even the belly. The zebra print is not only a striking appearance but also has a repellent effect on insects. Furthermore, Bucas sweet itch rugs are equipped with soft shoulder lining to prevent chafing and are breathable, lightweight, and quick-drying – ideal for warm days.
Thanks to the wide range of sizes, these rugs are also available for Shetland ponies and ponies, with a fit that is perfectly tailored. Start protecting in time (from March onwards) to prevent sweet itch and ensure your horse's comfort.
