Ultra Lite waterproof rug

[Gilbey]

I use Bucas sunshower rugs on all my horses in the spring and summer because they are fab. But I have a problem. My 2 year old gelding is terrified of the colour of it, white! He doesn't mind the others wearing them but gets really upset when we rug and de rug him. OK I can persevere but wondered if anyone knew of a rug that is as good as the Bucas Sunshower that isn't white or silver? I feel really mean ever time I go into his stable with the 'ghost of hell', but he does settle and wears it no problem. I'd like a Bucas SS in blue or black!! I really don't like using rugs with a nylon lining either as find the horses sweat a lot. Can any of you lot help with an idea of a different make please?

To be honest i would perservere for the fact if he ever needs a fly rug on they are all white to reflect the sun, hence why they keep them cooler. Also as you are rugging your 2 year old in summer then a would defo think a white/silver rug is best. Could you get a cheap rug that colour to leave in his stable so he gets desensitised to it?

ETS the bit about ruugging in summer isnt meant to sound horrible...all mine are currently in waterproof fly rugs/ LW's depending on age and weather.

Tried that he says thanks for the nice toy that I can paw and bury in a big hole!! I think it is the throwing over he objects to. Its not too much of a problem as my OH does him its just I wondered if there was another great lightweight on the market!!
