Toklat Bucas Sweet Itch Zebra Horse Fly Sheet with Full Neck - UV Protection - Multiple Sizes

Total Relief from Summer Eczema with the Bucas Sweet Itch Zebra Rug

Dealing with a horse that rubs their mane and tail raw is heartbreaking for any owner. The Bucas Sweet Itch Zebra With Full Neck is engineered specifically to provide a physical and visual barrier against the biting midges that cause so much misery. By combining a high-density weave with nature’s own defense mechanism—the zebra stripe—this rug offers your horse the peace they deserve during the height of fly season.

Crafted from a specialized 1000D polyester fabric, this rug is much more than a standard fly sheet. It’s a comprehensive armor system that covers from the ears to the tail, including an elasticated belly pad to protect those sensitive under-areas. Whether your horse is out for 24/7 turnout or you’re prepping for the show ring, this rug keeps the coat sleek, the skin calm, and the flies at bay.

Why the Bucas Sweet Itch Zebra is a Barn Essential

• Scientifically Proven Fly Deterrent – The specific width of the zebra stripes is clinically proven to confuse the compound eyes of insects, preventing them from landing on your horse in the first place.
• Midge-Proof 1000D Fabric – The ultra-fine, closed-weave polyester blocks even the smallest Culicoides (midges) while remaining breathable enough for hot summer days.
• Maximum UV Protection – With 99% UV protection, this rug prevents sun bleaching on dark coats and stops UV rays from aggravating existing skin irritations.
• Full-Body Coverage – The integrated neck reaches all the way to the ears, and the detachable, elasticated belly pad ensures the most vulnerable areas are shielded from bites.
• Durable for Turnout – Built for the long haul, the high-tenacity fabric stands up to the rigors of field life while maintaining its shape and protective qualities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?

Measure from the center of the chest, across the point of the shoulder, to the furthest point of the rump. The Bucas Sweet Itch Zebra With Full Neck features a narrower cut ideal for Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods; if your horse is between sizes, we recommend sizing down to prevent the rug from slipping backward.

Q: Can this rug be used for horses with sensitive skin?

Absolutely. The silk-feel lining in the shoulder and neck areas helps prevent rubbing, making it an excellent choice for horses prone to summer eczema or self-mutilation from itching. The midge-proof fabric ensures the skin stays calm and protected.
