Insect Control Ripstop Horse Rug with Hood & Ears

Wild Horse Australia


The Wild Horse Insect Control Ripstop Horse Rug with Hood and Ears has the hood attached to the rug and ears firmly sewn in.  The poll strap prevent slippage of the rug over the horses hear and helps prevent the ears disappearing as often happens with an ill fitting rug. 

The Wild Horse Insect Shield Ripstop Range is great to use during the dry months in the tropical north or during those warmer winter days and hot summer nights in the southern states.

Features of the Insect Repellent Range Include:

  • A wide range of Insect Repellent Rug styles, so you can choose the perfect combination for your horse
  • Elastic/Velcro attachments under the chin to allow for movement of the jaw, which is far more comfortable for your horse and alleviates restriction
  • Better fitting options at the chest to allow for more adjustment and to help prevent creep back, which leaves exposed buckles against your horse’s skin
  • Safety elastic on all Poll straps
  • Quality webbing and heavy duty buckles
  • Extended chest lining protection to alleviate rubbing
  • Lining inside the shoulder dart to help prevent lower shoulder irritation
  • O-Rings on belly straps, for added security
  • Extra deep and long lined tail skirts, which protect sensitive areas around the dock and top of the tail
  • Made for Australian horses and climates

What is Insect Shield?

The repellency is Permethrin - a man-made version of a natural insect repellent found in certain types of chrysanthemum plants

  Horse Insect Repellent Australia
It is the same repellent technology used in field clothing for the Military Forces to repel insects
  Horse Insect Repellent Australia
A great alternative to other temporary insect repellent products that are sprayed directly on the skin, last for only a matter of hours, wash off with sweat or water and which also have the potential for overuse
  Horse Insect Repellent Australia Insect Shield has the benefit of being near your horse’s skin, instead of on it.
  Horse Insect Repellent Australia It is appropriate for horses of all ages
  Horse Insect Repellent Australia Insects are NOT repelled by normal horse rugs
  Horse Insect Repellent Australia Can save you time and money on direct contact sprays

 


As we know our Horses have a very important highly developed sense of smell. Attempts have been made to assess how many times greater the horse's sense of smell is than our own, with estimates ranging up to hundreds of thousands.

They use their ability to distinguish different odours in their everyday lives. Horses use smell to identify other horses, to locate substances which are edible, for protection, a mare uses smell to pick out her foal from others in a group, they also use smell to distinguish between fresh and spoiled feed.

We as responsible horse owners must be aware of interfering with this particularly sense. Insect Shield is ODOURLESS.

See extensive testing results here:
Insect Shield® Technology Research.

The effective insect repellent (Permethrin) that Insect Shield® use in their process patented technology, disrupts the neurological system of BITING & BLOOD SUCKING INSECTS, so they are unable to bite & feed. It does not always interfere with non-biting or non-blood sucking insects.

Scientific reasoning for this is speculative, as no research has been done on harmless, non-biting insects. Tests have only been carried out on BITING & BLOOD SUCKING INSECTS.

These include horseflies, biting flies, sandflies, mosquitoes, ticks and fleas. The insects that pose the greatest potential risk and discomfort to your horse.
