Velder Horsewear Lightweight Sweet Itch Rug

For horses that are sensitive to sweet itch, good protection is essential. The Velder Horsewear Lightweight Sweet Itch Rug is specially designed to protect horses with sweet itch from the insects that cause the condition. The tightly woven fabric keeps out even the smallest insects and provides extensive body coverage from mane to tail.

Maximum coverage, minimum hindrance

The Sweet Itch Hoody covers the entire body, including the mane and tail. The shaped ear openings keep the neck piece in place without restricting freedom of movement: a clever detail that makes a difference every day. The extended belly flap with Velcro closure provides extra effective protection for the sensitive belly area.

Comfort throughout the day

For horses that wear the rug all day long, comfort is just as important as protection. The smooth lining at the shoulders, mane and tail minimises friction and rubbing. The three adjustable straight surcingles provide a stable and personalised fit. The large tail flap offers additional protection at the hindquarters. The chest closure system makes putting on and taking off quick and easy.
