QHP Zebra Print Sweet Itch Rug

The QHP Zebra Print Sweet Itch Rug is designed to provide the horse with extensive protection against insects while ensuring comfort and breathability. The rug features a fixed neck cover, a wide belly flap, a large tail flap and leg straps to provide optimal coverage of sensitive areas.

The distinctive zebra print is not only decorative: the stripes reflect light in a way that disrupts insects and helps deter flies from landing on the horse.

Zebra pattern to help deter flies

The characteristic black and white pattern of this rug has a specific purpose. Research has shown that zebra stripes can have a deterrent effect on flies, partly due to the way they reflect light.

This reflection disrupts insects and helps reduce their presence around the horse.

Extensive protection with fixed neck cover

The rug features a fixed neck cover with an elastic insert, providing additional protection for the horse’s neck.

For more complete coverage, it also features a large tail flap and leg straps, which help keep the rug securely in place.

Wide adjustable belly flap

The belly, an area particularly exposed to insects, is protected by a wide belly flap.

It is secured with adjustable elastic cross surcingles, allowing the rug to be adapted to the horse while providing extensive coverage of the belly area.

Breathable and UV-resistant fabric

This sweet itch rug is made from 100% polyester fabric weighing 215 g/m.

The fabric is breathable for added comfort and is also UV-resistant, making it particularly suitable for use during sunny weather.

Can be combined with a sweet itch hood

For more complete protection, this QHP rug can be combined with a suitable sweet itch hood, providing additional coverage for the head and other sensitive areas.

Care instructions
