Complete Queensland Itch Protection for your horse, pony or donkey! The Snuggy Queensland Itch Hood offers total protection from midges, biting insects, flies and harmful sunshine rays. It comes complete with mesh eyes, built in ears, optional zip, adjustable noseband & elastic poll adjusters for secure fit. The Queensland Itch Hood also has a no-seam silky lined mane & shoulder area to prevent rubbing/chaffing and an adjustable belly strap.

The Snuggy Queensland Itch Hood is designed for comfort and protection. The noseband is soft on the inside and the neck is cut extra long so the horse can stretch down comfortably to graze.

This unique Hood is made of fully breathable, water repellent, heavy shower proof, lightweight, stretch fabric which is durable, cool & comfortable. The Sweet Itch Hood is fully machine-washable and designed to be worn 24/7, in field or in stable, rain or shine.

The Queensland Itch Hood covers ears, face, neck, shoulders and chest. We recommend to use this Hood with the Queensland Itch Rug for maximum coverage, nose to tail. The Queensland Itch Hood and Queensland Itch Rug is our best-selling combination for Queensland Itch prevention.

The Queensland Itch Hood is self-fixing so it can be used with any other rug such as a fly rug or Summer sheet. If you don't require the horse's head to be covered you can choose the Headless Queensland Itch Hood for amazing protection without covering the horse's face.

What is Sweet Itch?

Sweet Itch is caused by an allergic reaction to the bites of the Culicoides midge and, to a lesser extent, Simulium Equinum. At present there is no known cure for Sweet Itch. Once an equine develops the allergy it is generally affected every Spring, Summer and Autumn. There are two approaches to improving the comfort of an affected animal: to minimize the allergic reaction with corticosteroids, anti-histamines or soothing lotions or to minimise midge attack using a Queensland Itch Hood/Rug. The second method offers the most effective protection and avoids the need to use harsh chemicals, expensive repellents and messy oils or greases. The Snuggy Sweet Itch Hood has been approved by Veterinary professionals for the prevention of the midge bite allergic reaction.

The Snuggy Queensland Itch Hood is featured in Horse & Hound's "Best Sweet Itch Rugs Available"!
