Kentucky Sweet Itch Fly & Summer Comfort Eczema Rug

Horses with summer eczema need extra protection, but a heavy or warm blanket is not a solution in the summer. The Kentucky Sweet Itch Fly & Summer Comfort Eczema Blanket is specially designed to find that balance: lightweight and breathable enough for warm weather, yet fully protective against the insects and UV radiation that trigger and exacerbate eczema.

The blanket is lined with smooth polyester in the areas where rubbing occurs most, at the mane, chest, and tail. This prevents irritation in the most sensitive zones, especially in horses that already have vulnerable skin. Movement pleats ensure that the horse can move freely without the blanket pulling or pinching. The front closure is designed for a pressure-free attachment at the chest, and the removable neck piece closes without pressure on the mane thanks to four Velcro straps on the sides and two at the closure.

Aside from its use for eczema, this blanket is also widely applicable as a general summer blanket. It keeps your horse clean at competitions, protects against changing weather conditions, and provides extra warmth on cool summer nights, without the horse overheating during the day.
