New From Bucas
The Ultimate rain and fly turnout rug from Bucas
Hot on the heels of outstanding success in 2013 with the launch of the Bucas Zebra Fly Rug, the brand has launched a hybrid rain and fly sheet just in time for the 2014 Sweet Itch Season.
The Bucas Buzz-Off Rain Zebra is an innovative combination of the waterproof and breathable properties of their proven rain-sheet with the hugely successful Zebra pattern printed fly mesh.
This hybrid rug is perfectly shaped in a Black, waterproof and breathable rip stop nylon, to protect the back, shoulders and hindquarters from the rain. The sides of the rug which are generous in length are in the unique zebra stripe which repels flying insects. Research was carried out by scientists, that proves that the zebra stripe actually protects the animal as flies are confused by the pattern, avoiding it.
The Bucas Buzz off Rain Zebra is the ultimate in quality. It comes with a detachable and adjustable zebra stripe belly pad to ensure the horse is completely protected from the flies. It is secured with a comfort, overlapped padded front and has a new tail cover design that incorporates a tail flap over the top of shaped back panels to provide even more protection from flies.
An additional Buzz-Off Rain Zebra Combi-Neck is also available to attach to the sheet. This has the Black waterproof, breathable fabric running down the mane area with the sides and under neck being made from the zebra mesh. This Combi neck secures firmly to the rug with hook & loop attachments and covers the horse from the top of the ears with an elasticated head band to keep it in place
Both fabrics in the Bucas Buzz-Off Rain Zebra and matching Combi-Neck ensure your horse is comfortable, dry and bite free.
So next time you can’t decide fly rug or rain sheet – you can have both.

Cavalor always believe that prevention is key. As warm, moist and muddy conditions are ideal for bacteria, it is important to avoid these environments where possible.
When prevention is too late it is important that bacterial infections are dealt with as soon as possible. Make sure the leg is dry before you apply Cavalor® MudDoc, a cream that works on different levels to help heal. This cream will absorb very easily to avoid a thick creamy layer because this can exacerbate an infection.
Apply Cavalor® MudDoc at least once a day, this acts as an antibacterial and promotes the healing of the skin. Make sure you keep applying Cavalor® MudDoc until the skin is totally healed and the hair has completely grown back. If you quit too fast, the problem may come back.
Always seek advice from your vet if you are concerned about your horse’s health.
Cavalor MudDoc is priced at around £31.50 for 200ml.
