yes me...on my dale siwth sweet itch...currently in a horsewear mesh thing in green which is faring better than the rifraff light mesh thing he was in...

the horseware one is standing up to him scratching and hes not getting hot in it....
 
i was a bit sceptical(sp), i bought the first rug as a combination to keep the sun off (coloured horse gettin sunburn) and now use it on my new horse as he gets covered in lumps and bumps, once has this rug on it stops!!!!
 
Yes had 100s - Riff raff ones were brill - they dont make them anymore>....
Rambo bug rrug is nice but neck not very long so thats his stable rug - but the bestest of the best - the Mark todd one - AMAZING!!! reflects the sun doesnt absorb it - so cool fly free horsington
- Only thing is he does look silly with a fly hat on too - rather like a space horse crossed with something out of "The Fly" but would prefer that anyday to unhappy sweaty and bitten to bits (I live next to a dairy farm so flies are fierce!)
 
Only my second year of having an itchy one. Got rug last year after I bought her but she had already started scratching and it didn't make much difference. Put it on early this year and she isn't rubbing yet so big improvement on last year. Think it is definitely more prevention than cure.
 
Yes, have done for a number of years now, two with sweet itch and one black who fades. The dark horses actually seem to stay cooler in the white rugs, which is just an added bonus
