Epic Classic Sweet Itch Rug - Broad Fit - Sunrise

When sweet itch season hits, every day without the right protection matters. Our Classic Sweet Itch Rug is designed to give your horse maximum coverage against biting insects and sun bleaching, without overheating — so your horse can enjoy turnout comfortably, even on the worst days.

Unlike off-the-shelf sizing, every rug in our Broad Fit range is developed using measurements taken from real broader, heavier horses — so the fit is precise, not guesswork. Our fit-first design gives your horse complete freedom of movement, with a larger cut neckline to accommodate a broader chest, thick muscular neck and big shoulders. Lower chest fastenings that follow your horse's natural shape, eliminating pressure at the neck and over the wither. Extra large shoulder gussets give your horse unrestricted comfort without tightness or rubbing. The fixed integrated neck cover, designed specifically for muscular necks and long manes, features ear holes and a chin strap for maximum coverage, with an extended length to match your horse's natural neck extension as they graze, preventing any gaps for biting insects to get in.

No more mini skirts! All of our rugs have the correct rug depth so your horse is fully covered and protected from the elements, including a substantial tail flap.

Pair with our Classic PVC Fly Mask or Classic Nylon Fly Mask for more coverage and protection
