The perfect rug for horses that suffer Eczema, Sweet Itch or have very sensitive skin. This Sweet Itch Rug is designed to help protect your horse from annoying flies and insects and prevent your horse from rubbing. To fully protect your horse, this rug has a neckpiece that goes up to the ears.

When horses with Eczema or Sweet Itch sweat a lot, it can worsen their condition. The horse can experience increased itching and bacterial and fungal growth which will lead to secondary infections and slow down the healing process. That’s why it’s important to note the Sweet Itch Rug has a Quick dry material which guarantees your horse is not sweating under the rug.
