New Bucas Sweet-Itch X Light

The new Bucas Sweet-Itch X Light rug is made using the Bucas Sweet-Itch polyester fabric on the upper and an open mesh fabric on the lower part. The specially developed fabric blocks entry of even the smallest of insects.
The upper part of the rug completely shields the areas of the horse that are prone to Sweet Itch. The rug also has the benefit of being light weight for use on warm days as the lower open mesh helps cool the horse by allowing air to circulate.
The Bucas Sweet-Itch X Light also helps in protecting against sun bleaching.
The rug has an extra-long neck that covers the pole and brow of the horse whilst the deep sides help to keep flies away while also allowing the air to circulate around the horse’s legs.
With an adjustable stomach flap, the rug provides all round protection secured with three external surcingles.
Available in sizes 115/5’0 – 170/7’2 in the colour Silver. Priced at around £125.00.
