Guest blog Bucas: the ideal rug for unstable summer weather

The summertime weather can be unstable sometimes. Mucking stables in the fog wearing a winter coat during the mornings and riding your horse in the afternoon all sweaty in a t-shirt. On Monday it’s raining cats and dogs and on Tuesday the tropical temperatures pass by. The decision on what rug to use can be very difficult.




Luckily, Bucas came up with a solution. No, not for the weather, but to keep your horse warm Bucas has designed a rug that functions as a parasol, umbrella and as a mosquito net. The Bucas Buzz-Off Rain Full Neck is a combination of the Bucas Sun Shower and the Buzz-Off fly rugs, which makes it the ideal summer rug. It is namely a fly rug, with a waterproof, breathable and sun reflective shoulder-, neck-, and backpiece. The top part acts like a parasol and umbrella in one. The anti-fly fabric on the sides and the detachable belly flap holds back the larger horse flies. 

The nice part about this rug is that it is 100% UV- repellent. This prevents burning and discolouration of the horse’s coat. The rug is made of breathable material; with extreme weather is it possible that the rug slows down the vaporization of sweat so your horse may feel a bit wet. However, the rug has a parasol function; your horse will be cooler with than without this one! The rug provides comfort for your horse and helps protect against overheating because the direct influence of the sun is  prevented. 

The elastic browband at the end of the neckpiece ensures a nice high fit, even when the horse grazes. The neck is fitted with three Velcro fasteners. The rug has shoulder folds, with on the inside of the chest area a nylon fabric to avoid sanding spots. The belly flap

The belly pad ensures that the rug is kept in place at the same time as it protects the belly of the horse. The rug is fitted with a tail flap to protect the sensitive sections of the tail root against horseflies. The tightly fitted flap makes sure that during rainy days water won’t slide or leak inside the rug. 

Tip: the rug is also usable as a sweet itch rug for horses with light summer eczema.
