Bug Rug

[claireross]

Has anyone used an Amigo Bug Rug ???? I found then in a sale and not sure whether to get one for our pony who gets mild sweet itch. She managed last year with no rug, but used d-itch and then had to bath at least once a week.

got two, one for each horse, they are great both mine lasted all summer and still going strong, would def recomend, as much cheaper than some bug rugs, but good quality

they're brilliant. mine has two (they get ashed quite regularly)
my boy gets mild swee-itch and this year was fine.

Got two for mine and found them good. Would recommend a size bigger than usual though, and i leave the bottom neck fastening undone on my mare as it is a bit tight otherwise (though if you get a size bigger you might not have to, I didn't but wish i had)

I dont know about amigo bug rugs - I have tried loads of other sorts and have found boetts to be the best. Mine was worn solidly for the whole season last year and only has a coupler of tiny plucks - they are exspensive but are a long term investement. Also you dont need any lotions and potions, they keep the sun off and keep them clean (great if you have a mostly white skewy)

Couldnt agree more. Boett are expensive, but again no lotions or potions, they dont slip and are the best. My shire has been in them for 3 years now. You can ride with them on (if you wish to).
