The Bucas Sweet-Itch Zebra Rug is a full-body insect-protection rug made from a specially developed fabric that prevents even the smallest insects from reaching the skin. Designed specifically for horses that suffer from Sweet Itch, it helps break the itch–scratch cycle by providing comprehensive coverage from ears to tail and across the belly.
The specialist fabric creates a physical barrier against midges and other insects, which are the primary cause of Sweet Itch. Extra attention has been given to the mane and tail areas, as these are the most vulnerable zones for affected horses. The full-body design, combined with the elasticated belly flap, ensures complete coverage with no gaps for insects to enter.
This rug blocks even the smallest insects, helps interrupt the itch–scratch cycle, and provides full protection from ears to tail. The neck extends all the way to the ears to cover the entire mane area, while the elasticated, detachable belly flap protects the horse from the elbow to the sheath. The design focuses on shielding the mane, tail, and belly—areas most prone to irritation.
The Sweet-Itch Zebra Rug offers full-body coverage with an integrated neck reaching to the ears and complete protection over the mane. Its elasticated, detachable belly flap covers the horse from the elbow to the sheath, and the distinctive zebra print adds a unique finish.
