Here at WILD Horse, we specialise in long-term Insect Protection that can endure rain, hail, or shine. The Insect Control is EPA approved for 25 detergent washes and 6 months of full-time weathering to still have more than 92% of the Permethrin remaining in the fabric. Our Ripstop is our most durable fabric and is great for a horse who is tough on their Rug. Poly/Cotton blend with approximately 70% polyester and 30% cotton. Polyester adds strength and longevity to your Rug, while cotton is a great porous fabric. The Rug/Hood Design offers full protection of both body & head and a pol strap for full security. Hood and Rug are connected with our unique LYCRA connector offering both mane & wither release!

  1. Amanda

    I would like to thank Wild Horse Australia for the invention of the insect repellent rug range. I have a 15.3h warmblood mare who has always had a bad reaction to mosquitos. I had tried EVERYTHING and resided to the fact I would never be able to compete her as she had hardly any hair left on her face and front legs. She would tear a summer rug to bits every 10-12 weeks from scratching on anything from trees, fencing or the side of her stable. I was hesitant on spending that sort of money on a summer rug because she does wreck them but she has had her rug and full fly mask for 3 weeks and I can confirm her hair on her face is growing back, there are no lumps on her neck and she is so much happier. I have since also bought the leg protectors and 2/3 of the lumps on her front legs have gone and the hair is growing back. I can’t believe it has worked this quickly. Thank you so much!!

    Protects sensitive skin from horrid bug bites!! My horse has a very fine coat and delicate skin which reacted quite badly to the tiniest bite. No more!!
    The only query I’d have is that it’s a very generous fit. My horse wears a 6.3″ rug really well yours however, appears too big for her. I’m not complaining as it covers more of her and protects more too.

  3. Alice

    I have an ott mare that was covered head to tail in itch, but using the rug for the past week has healed a lot up as she no longer itches and the midges aren’t able to bite her. Fits very well, especially the long neck!! I have tried A LOT of products for itch and various rugs, but this is the first to work.

  4. Shauna

    These rugs are well made, durable and excellent for Qld itch.
    The insect repellent qualities only last 6-9 months. Due to this issue, I think they are a little overpriced
    Suggestion- some mesh over the eye holes of the hood would be a good idea to make them suitable as a fly mask also

  5. Damian

    The best rugs I have used, cleared up any itch my horse had. Only shame can not get a tail bag attached

  6. John

    A potential 5 star light weight rug! I buy your ‘Insect Control Ripstop – Rug, Hood & Ears’
    either direct or through saddlery’s. They are one of the best light rugs available on the market today.

  7. Kaye

    Mare very sensitive to Qld. itch has been in rug/hood/belly protector for 2 months, NSW. This is December and so far OK. Jan – March are worst months so wait and see. But looking good. Strap behind ears holding hood is too short, otherwise 6′ fit is good for 15.2 chunky horse.

  8. Anna

    8. Great fit, nice and strong . Fits my 18HH Shire perfectly!

  9. Alicia

    ripstop rug hood and ears – well made, good fit. Fits my TB horse perfectly. he needs to cotton material instead of mesh to give full protection against biteing insects. a slightly thicker ripstop version would be good plus tailbag attachment.

  10. Galvarez (verified owner)

    My rug exceeded expectations. I purchased rug for the insecticide technology but was surprised at the extra bonuses with the fit. The rug design is great, especially the hood attachment. The Velcro on the chest straps and hood plus the elasticity of the leg straps are terrific. The tail flat is very generous as well. All these are great for my itchy pony who I might add is now enjoying an itch free life!

  11. Ashleigh Walker

    Well worth the money!
    Not only did the fit of these rugs exceed my expectations but the insect treatment has made such an increddible difference to my boys itch, in fact so much so that he is no longer an itchy boy. My new favourite Rugs for sure.

FULL DESCRIPTION

We have used a unique patented process that tightly bonds insect protection deep into the fabric fibres of our Ripstop Horse Rug/Hoods.
Our tests show that there is approximately 92% of the treatment remaining after 6 months of weathering and 25 detergent washes. EPA approved treatment can remain effective for 2-3 years.
  • Ripstop fabric is the most durable of our fabrics.
  • Now with new WITHER PRESSURE RELEASE
  • Complete protection from an all-in-one rug with attached hood.
  • Superior design with contoured backline, as well as double cross surcingles to ensure this rug stays in place.
  • Enclosed ears are designed to prevent incorrect pressure at the top of the ear.
  • Generous neck lengths with Poll strap Elastic/Velcro attachments under the chin which allow movement of the jaw, this alleviates restriction.
  • In addition better fitting options at the chest to allow for more adjustment and to help prevent creep back, which leaves exposed buckles against horses skin Quality webbing and heavy duty buckles.
  • Extended chest & shoulder dart lining protection to alleviate rubbing.
  • Extended fleece on wither pressure point to help prevent oedemas which are a common problem caused by poorly designed rugs.
  • O-Rings on belly straps.
