Description
The Bucas Sweet Itch Zebra Print Rug is designed to provide complete protection for horses that suffer from sweet itch or are highly sensitive to flies, midges and other biting insects. Made from a specially developed fabric, this rug blocks even the smallest insects from reaching your horse’s skin, helping to reduce itching, discomfort and long-term skin damage.
With its full-body coverage and bold Zebra stripe design, the rug not only offers outstanding insect protection but also benefits from research that shows flies are deterred by the contrasting black and white stripes. The unique print helps to confuse insects and reduce their tendency to land on the horse.
The rug includes an integrated neck that extends all the way to the ears, covering the entire mane area for maximum protection. A detachable, elasticated belly pad wraps from elbow to sheath, shielding the sensitive underbelly from insect bites. The rug also offers excellent UV protection, helping to prevent sunburn and keeping your horse’s coat from fading during summer months.
