Covering poll to tail including full belly coverage it is a headless option pleasing customers who don't wish to cover their horse or pony's face.

Constructed of the same clever fabric as the Sweet Itch Hood and Sweet Itch Rug, the Bug Body Fly Rug is robust yet lightweight and fully breathable, water repellent, stops coat bleaching as well as protecting from midges, other flying/biting insects, dust and dirt.

The neck piece then slips over the horse's head and is secured to the top and sides of the rug's neck with Velcro leaving no gaps.

Small straps are fitted to the withers and chest section of the rug to prevent gaps. The withers and chest areas are padded and elasticated to prevent pressure. Three Velcro patches are fitted to the rug and belly each side to achieve a close Snuggy fit and a strong ant-stretch binding is run along the spine of the Bug Body to keep the rug in shape and prevent it slipping backwards.

What is Sweet Itch?

Sweet Itch is caused by an allergic reaction to the bites of the Culicoides midge and, to a lesser extent, Simulium Equinum. At present there is no known cure for Sweet Itch. Once an equine develops the allergy it is generally affected every Spring, Summer and Autumn. There are two approaches to improving the comfort of an affected animal: to minimize the allergic reaction with corticosteroids, anti-histamines or soothing lotions or to minimise midge attack using a Sweet Itch Hood/Rug. The second method offers the most effective protection and avoids the need to use harsh chemicals, expensive repellents and messy oils or greases. The Snuggy Sweet Itch Hood has been approved by Veterinary professionals for the prevention of the midge bite allergic reaction.

The Snuggy Sweet Itch Hood is featured in Horse & Hound's "Best Sweet Itch Rugs Available"!

Front Leg Covers are made from the same clever fabric as the Sweet Itch Rug & Bug Body, they cover the front legs  from elbow to just above the knee. These horse leg covers are a clever, unique design protecting the upper part of the foreleg from midges, flies, other biting insects & harmful UV rays. The foreleg can be particularly sensitive especially on the inside where the coat is fine & thin.

Snuggy Front Leg Covers are designed specifically for use with the Sweet Itch Rug or Bug Body. They attach with hook & loop strips/d-rings to outside of the rug on the shoulder area and the inside edge of the Belly Band which sits (and covers) between the front legs.  These horse leg covers have been successfully trialled & used by thousands on customers for over 10 years and are an excellent choice for additional coverage if your horse or pony suffers badly from Sweet Itch or other environment related allergies.

The Front Leg Covers are detachable for ease of fitting and washing so can be used as and when required. They are designed to be a close fit to prevent flies/insects getting up inside but do allow movement of the front leg for comfort and durability. The fabric is fully breathable so cool, yet robust. It does not allow insects to bite through and does filter UV rays.

PLEASE NOTE - The Sweet Itch Rug/Bug Body does not come as standard with the Front Leg attachments. If you already have the  or Bug Body you will need to sew on the provided Front Leg attachments - Front Leg Covers bought alone will arrive complete with an attachment pack including all pieces needed to sew on to your rug and an instruction sheet.  If you don't required this attachment pack (if your rug already has the attachments) please let us know when ordering and we won't send you the extra pack.

FITTING ADVICE - please ensure the following ... (and watch the fitting videos)

The surcingle is designed to sit ON THE GIRTH - as near the foreleg as possible and as tight as possible to prevent it slipping back along the body.

The cuff around the head end of the hood should be TIGHT ! This is to prevent the hood sliding back along the neck.

When the horses head is down eating he or she should take up all the slack in the neck. If in doubt - do not turn out. Contact us directly with photos if possible.
