Wither Pad to the Rescue!

Rugging horses is common practice in most stables. Yet all too often horse owners are faced with a common dilemma. Wanting their horse to be warm, clean and cosy in their rug. However, the aggravating downside to this is that the lower part of the mane can get pulled out. Rub marks can also easily develop on the wither or shoulders. Horses that have been completely clipped are particularly sensitive to the pressure of the rug neckline. The main thing to look for is a rug lining that is smooth, clean and does not cause rub marks. The Bucas research and development team has been listening to feedback from customers and retailers and has come up with a solution — the new Bucas WITHER PAD. The new pad has already been extensively tested in practice and passed with flying colours.

The WITHER PAD is compatible with any Bucas Rug with neck attachment points and can be easily and securely attached to the existing hook-and-loop closures on the neckline. The pad is then folded flat under the rug, where it alleviates pressure from the wither area thanks to its 300g of cushioned wadding. The Silk-feel lining is smooth against the horse’s skin and helps to keep the mane and coat in good condition. Bucas recommends washing the pad regularly as grease and dirt can also contribute to pulling out hair on the crest of the mane. The Bucas WITHER PAD ensures the horse’s comfort and protects both the mane and wither.

Available in navy.
