Discover the Premier Equine Sweet Itch Rugs collection, specially designed to provide maximum protection for horses and ponies suffering from sweet itch, midge sensitivity and insect bite allergies. Developed using durable, breathable materials and full-coverage designs, these rugs help protect sensitive horses from biting insects while maintaining comfort throughout the warmer months.
Sweet itch is one of the most common allergic skin conditions affecting horses and ponies, often caused by reactions to midge bites. Premier Equine Sweet Itch Rugs are designed to act as a physical barrier between the horse and biting insects, helping to reduce irritation, rubbing and discomfort during spring and summer. Specialist sweet itch rugs provide greater coverage and use denser fabrics than standard fly rugs to help keep even tiny midges away from the skin.
Our collection includes Premier Equine's popular Sweet Itch Buster and Buster Sweet Itch Rugs, featuring lightweight yet durable 1000D ripstop polyester fabrics that are breathable, UV reflective and designed to prevent insect penetration. Many designs include integrated neck covers, belly protection, supersized tail flaps and antibacterial linings to maximise coverage and comfort for sensitive horses.
Premier Equine sweet itch rugs are ideal for horses prone to seasonal itching, rubbing and insect irritation. Designed for turnout use, they help protect vulnerable areas including the mane, neck, shoulders, belly and tail, where sweet itch symptoms are commonly most severe. The breathable construction helps keep horses comfortable while providing reliable protection throughout the day.
Suitable for horses and ponies of all breeds, these rugs are trusted by horse owners looking for effective sweet itch management and reliable summer protection. Combined with good stable management and fly control measures, a quality sweet itch rug can play an important role in helping horses remain comfortable during peak insect seasons.
