How to prevent Sweet Itch 🪰
Experience has shown that the best form of protection against sweet itch is from a dedicated sweet itch rug. A proper sweet itch rug includes the following key features to create the essential barrier between your horse and the midges:
➡️ Elasticated at the top of the neck and top of the legs to prevent midges from getting underneath the rug
➡️ A wide, close-fitting belly flap
➡️ A long tail flap that completely covers the dock region
➡️ A rug made of fine mesh fabric to prevent the tiny midges from getting through it.
