Sweet Itch Light X

€175.00

The Bucas X Range are specially developed fly rugs that help protect your horse from flies and offer great UV protection.

The Sweet-Itch X Light is an extra deep Sweet-itch protective rug that combines an upper part in a solid polyester fabric for maximum protection and a lower part in a mesh fabric offering both fly protection and good air circulation. The extra deep sides of the rug helps to keep flies away and also helps the air to circulate around the legs of the horse.

The unique belly wrap is secured with 3 surcingles and protects this sensitive area from flies.

The integrated cap helps keep the neck of the rug in place while the horse is turned out in their paddock and keeps the ears free for those horses who don’t like their ears covered and gives the option to still use a fly mask for those horses who prefer their ears covered!
