Advantages: Fits up over the ears and has long tail flap. fits right round belly

Disadvantages: Quite expensive

I bought an appaloosa last september and she had the remains of sweet itch, so as the spring got closer I decided to have a search around for the best rug for her to try and prevent this from happening again. I was a bit worried about buying just a standard fly rug as my other horse wears them once and gets them off in the field and tears them to pieces!!!

After a few recommendations from my instructor and other people on the yard I went for the rambo sweet itch hoody. A little on the pricey side (around £90) I was hoping it would do the job. As with all horseware (rambo) rugs it fits brilliantly and stays in place in the field. The fastenings are very strong and durable and the rugs fits all the way up the neck and over the ears. It has an extra long tail flap and soft fabric around chest and mane area to prevent rubbing.

Even though my horse has ripped the rug in places she still has a mane which hasn't been rubbed out. It is brilliant and it worked to stop her itching and getting irritated by the midges. I would recommend this rug to anyone with a horse that gets irritated by flies and scratches or sweet itch.

Summary: A super buy as it has stopped my mares mane falling out!!!
