Bucas Therapy Walker Rug - Navy/Orange
The Bucas Therapy Walker Rug - Navy/Orange is a premium waterproof horse walker rug combining innovative Bucas Therapy fabric, a durable 600D ripstop outer and a specially shaped high-cut shoulder design for comfortable movement during controlled exercise.
Designed for use on horse walkers, during hand-walking and lunging, this versatile exercise rug provides weather protection while allowing greater freedom of movement around the shoulders. Its distinctive cut helps minimise restriction and friction as the horse moves, making it particularly suitable for warming up and cooling down.
The specialist Bucas Recuptex Therapy fabric incorporates an exceptionally fine stainless steel mesh designed to interact with the horse's naturally occurring electromagnetic fields. Bucas developed this technology with the aim of supporting circulation and muscular comfort during exercise preparation and post-exercise care.
A smooth Dermo-Care lining helps manage moisture against the coat, making the rug suitable for horses that are slightly damp or sweaty after exercise. The lining also helps maintain a smooth, comfortable coat finish.
With a waterproof rating exceeding 5,000mm hydrostatic head and breathability exceeding 3,000g/24h/m², the Bucas Therapy Walker Rug combines practical protection against wet weather with breathable comfort.
Finished in the distinctive Navy/Orange colour combination, the rug features secure front fastenings, cross surcingles, reflective rear strips and a fillet string for practical everyday use.

Bucas Recuptex Therapy Technology
The Therapy Walker Rug incorporates Bucas Recuptex fabric, containing an exceptionally fine stainless steel mesh.
This specialist material is designed to interact with the horse's naturally occurring electromagnetic fields. Bucas describes the technology as intended to support circulation and muscular comfort.
Unlike conventional magnetic therapy products, Recuptex does not rely on individual magnets positioned within the fabric.
The Therapy Walker Rug can be incorporated into a horse's warm-up and cool-down routine, although therapeutic claims should not be considered a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
Waterproof 600D Ripstop Outer
The rug features a durable 600 Denier ripstop outer fabric, designed to provide practical protection during outdoor exercise.
With a waterproof rating exceeding 5,000mm hydrostatic head, the fabric offers resistance to rain and wet conditions.
The ripstop construction also helps resist the spread of small tears during normal use.
Breathable Construction
The Bucas Therapy Walker Rug offers a breathability rating exceeding 3,000g/24h/m², helping moisture vapour escape through the fabric.
This breathable construction is particularly useful during controlled exercise, when maintaining a comfortable temperature is important.
High-Cut Shoulder Design
The rug's high-cut shoulder profile is specifically designed to accommodate movement during horse walker exercise, hand-walking and lunging.
By providing additional clearance around the shoulders, the design helps minimise restriction and friction compared with a conventional full-depth rug.
This makes the Therapy Walker Rug particularly useful for horses requiring weather protection while moving freely.
Dermo-Care Moisture-Managing Lining
The Bucas Dermo-Care lining provides a smooth surface against the horse's coat.
Designed to offer moisture-management properties similar to Bucas Stay-Dry lining, it helps manage moisture when the horse is slightly damp or sweaty.
The smooth finish also helps minimise friction and maintain a soft, comfortable coat.
Secure Fastenings & Reflective Detailing
The rug features a T-bar front fastening with hook-and-loop closure for secure fitting.
Cross surcingles help maintain the rug's position during movement, while a fillet string provides additional security at the rear.
Reflective strips on the rear improve the rug's visibility in low-light conditions, although they do not replace appropriate lighting or high-visibility equipment.
Ideal for Controlled Exercise
The Bucas Therapy Walker Rug is designed for:
Horse walker exercise
Hand-walking
Lunging
Warm-up routines
Post-exercise cooling down
Controlled movement in wet or cooler weather
