If your horse struggles with sweet itch or reacts badly to flies, this rug gives serious protection without compromising comfort. It’s tough, breathable and designed to stay put, so your horse can relax and get on with being a horse.
The 600 denier ripstop outer is durable and helps prevent small tears turning into big problems. It’s strong but still breathable, making it ideal for daily turnout. Built-in UV protection blocks over 95% of harmful rays, helping to reduce sun bleaching, irritation and allergy flare-ups through the warmer months. Inside, the smooth 210T lining feels really nice against the coat and helps reduce rubbing, so you’re not dealing with sore patches. Memory foam wither pads mould to your horse’s shape to ease pressure and improve comfort, especially if they’re sensitive across the shoulders.
The fit is practical and secure. Twin quick-clip chest fastenings with touch tape make it easy to put on and take off. Traditional side gussets and twin low cross surcingles allow natural movement while keeping the rug stable. A stretch panel from poll to ears helps keep the neck area snug, and the adjustable tail cord adds extra security. With a full belly wrap and a three-piece wrap tail flap, you’re getting excellent coverage where it matters most.
If you’re managing sweet itch, pair this with a quality fly mask and sweet itch treatment for full protection. Order now and give your horse the comfort and coverage they deserve this season.
