The Bucas Smartex Medium Big Neck Rug is expertly designed for horses with a broader build, including stallions and breeds such as Friesians, Andalusians and Draughts. Offering a roomier fit across the shoulders and neck, this rug provides all the premium protection and smart features of the Smartex range in a tailored cut that ensures comfort and freedom of movement for larger-framed horses.

Built with a rugged 1680D ballistic nylon outer, the Smartex Medium Big Neck Rug delivers exceptional durability and resistance to wear, making it ideal for daily turnout. It is fully waterproof (over 5000 mm hydrostatic head) and breathable (over 3000 g/24h/m²), ensuring your horse stays dry from the outside while allowing heat and moisture to escape from within.

With 150g of insulation, this medium-weight rug is perfect for cooler months or horses that need moderate warmth. The innovative Stay-dry fleece lining means the rug can be placed directly onto a wet horse. It efficiently wicks away moisture, drying the horse’s coat quickly while keeping the lining dry to the touch. This eliminates the need for frequent rug changes and keeps your horse comfortable throughout the day. The lining also features anti-bacterial properties to support skin health and hygiene.

A silk-feel shoulder lining prevents rubbing and helps maintain coat condition. Designed for a secure and comfortable fit, the rug includes the Click’n Go front closure with magnetic Snap-lock, shoulder darts, cross surcingles, deluxe leg straps, tail flap and deluxe tail cord. It also comes with neck attachment points and is compatible with Bucas liners, quilts and coolers, offering versatile layering options.
