Bucas Eczema Blanket Sweet-itch Zebra

Because I had been using the RSIH for years and still wanted to try something different, here is a comparison with the Bucas Sweet itch: This blanket is very suitable for hot weather, and is also slightly thinner than the RSIH (rambo Sweet itch hoody) . Only above 30 degrees did my horse sweat in it. The blanket is fairly small, a size 183 for an E-pony turned out to be fairly short. The neck portion and the tail flap should be longer. The elastic band as "browband" seems handy but does not get stuck due to the short neck of the blanket. The webbing system of the belly flap is super handy and quick to attach, but the belly flap itself would have liked a bit longer / less tight elastic. When I just had the blanket new, I wondered if such a tight belly flap was comfortable. The metal clips also provide sanding spots, but after a month there was nothing left to see. I have not noticed much of the watertight treatment so if you are looking for something against rain you better buy the special edition. The chest closure is more pleasant than that of the RSIH, stays nicer straight, and pulls back less tightly so that the chest is pinched. The blanket is much lighter than the RSIH and easier to put on. After two months small holes at the attachment of the tail flap, but no broken fasteners as was often the case with the RSIH also a! Wash the fabric much stronger. There must absolutely be a withers protector. After two months my horse had a wound on the withers, perhaps because the blanket is on the small side? I should have liked more with the withers and shoulders. Never had this problem with the RSIH. To sum up: the fit of the RSIH is better, but the fabric and attachment of the Bucas Sweet itch is better. Order from the Bucas a size larger with a breast protector. The summer eczema is under control with both blankets.

• Very tight
• Stops flying
• No sweat

• The belly flap would have liked me even wider
• The neck stays bad all over the neck

Super strong blanket very satisfied with the fit ..

Sturdy blanket. Only during the tropical days +28 degrees too hot. The fabric is stronger than the Rambo sweet itch. The leg cords and attachment of the belly flap are not as good as with the rambo. White stripes, of course, do not remain white. Nice blanket but not as nice as my rambo

• Solid fabric
• Good passform

• Fastening clips very sensitive fast piece
• It is difficult to click the bartacks with difficulty

Very good fit for my horse. Easy to put on / off, among other things because of no stomach belts. The latter are better if your horse would suffer from eczema on the lower abdomen, which is not the case for this horse. I also like that this blanket is a bit thinner than the plain green sweet itches from Bucas, which is more pleasant when it is very warm.

• Also beautiful
• Good fit
• Solid fabric

too wide in the neck to the head. Should be able to adjust better, for example also to the ears

• Solid fabric
• Sits comfortably on the neck
• Large separate belly flap

• The neck stays bad all over the neck
• Matching mask to the blanket
• Should be better adjusted in the neck at the head. Now too wide for a slender horse

Is a nice eczema blanket, unfortunately for a haflinger a few points for improvement. 1. A loose neck piece would have been nicer because of its short neck. But remains good and his moons are still as good as whole! 2.Brush, on the other hand, is on the tight side, luckily you have a separate blanket extension for that. 3. Belly flap is again too small, or it should have been able to be attached lower to the blanket so that you could have a little more length under the belly. Furthermore, quality was quite strong. Keep it up so far in a meadow full of blankets!

• Solid fabric
• Covers a lot of the horse

• Cheap quality leg straps, chest piece not adjustable
• The belly flap would have liked me even wider
• Tight on the chest
