The Bucas Shamrock Power rug has the answer for both busy yard managers and one-horse owners pressed for time.

This multi-functional rug, used by leading Irish racehorse trainers, combines good looks with outstanding performance and is the ideal solution for those who don’t have the time to hang around while their horse dries off after exercise.

Available in two versions – classic cut and integrated full neck – the Shamrock Power rug can be used following heavy exercise or bathing, for travelling, in the stable or as an under rug.

Boasting two layers of Bucas’ ‘Stay-Dry’ advanced technology fabric that helps regulate your horse’s temperature, the rug’s ‘intelligent’ lining wicks away moisture to its low-friction outer layer, ensuring that your horse remains dry, warm and comfortable.

The clever anti-bacterial lining also protects your horse’s skin against winter-related conditions and helps keep the rug fresh, even with continual use.

With its soft fabric, the rug easily fits into domestic washing machines – and comes out smelling as fresh as the day you bought it. It also features a front pad that provides additional protection from straps and fasteners, shoulder darts allowing room for movement, cross surcingles and attachments for leg straps.

The Bucas Shamrock Power rug comes in black with black and gold trim and navy with navy and gold trim in sizes 3ft 6in to 7ft 2in and costing from £65 (classic cut) and 5ft 6in to 7ft (small to extra large), priced from £80 (integrated full neck).
