Sweet Itch is a condition caused by an allergic reaction to the bite of Culicoides midges, usually resulting in lesions on the topline, mane, tail and abdomen. Hypersensitive horses and ponies can cause further damage by rubbing the irritated areas. The Sweet Itch Zebra Sheet uses a specially developed breathable fabric that prevents even the smallest midges from biting, with the added protection of the zebra stripes against other biting insects. Zebra stripes have been clinically proven to prevent biting flies from landing by polarizing light.* Full mane, tail and belly coverage. Full Neck is not detachable. Fit Bucas neck darts lift the blanket off the point of the shoulder for excellent range of motion without rubbing for a better fit. The neck darts also give the blanket a good fit through the chest, with no gaping or draping. 1000D polyester outershell Innovative layered fabric protects against midges and biting insects Neck dart for improved shoulder fit Detachable belly band Elastic leg straps Warranty 2 years against manufacturing defects.
