 Sweet Itch Blanket by Boett USA, LLC Boett is the ORIGINAL Sweet Itch Blanket, designed in Sweden since 1992. About Us Boett is a Swedish company and brand that has been in business for over 20 years now. Founded by Lisbeth Sundberg, who runs the Swedish office. Boett is a family business and we are very concerned with the wellbeing of animals, we frequently donate products and funds to animal related charity organizations worldwide. Can Boett Really Help With Sweet Itch? Boett is the original Sweet Itch blanket, designed in Sweden since 1992. It is proven to relief symptoms of Sweet itch and makes life more comfortable for horses suffering from this terrible condition. The lightweight but incredibly strong material is fully breathable and will not cause overheating, gnats and insect cannot bite through the blanket, thanks to a special weaving technique that is used when manufacturing the fabric. The blanket is available in three colors, light grey, chestnut and dark brown. How Does The Boett Blanket Work To Prevent Sweet Itch? Because of its unique fabric (not a mesh that midges might bite through) and clever design the Blanket stops midges biting the skin, preventing the allergic reaction called Sweet Itch. The Blanket is not impregnated with insecticide or midge repellent, avoiding the undesirable side effects often associated with these chemicals. The Blanket can be machine-washed and tumble dried and, if it is accidentally torn, it can be easily repaired How Quickly Will I See Results? As soon as the blanket is fitted midges can no longer bite the areas most prone to Sweet Itch. However it normally takes from 7 to 21 days for dead and damaged skin cells (the cause of the extreme itchiness associated with Sweet Itch) to be re-absorbed. During that time the horse will continue to show a degree of itchiness. Should I Apply Repellent or Insecticides Under The Blanket? No. It is much better to have a clean skin. The Blanket will do its job very effectively and will prevent midge bites on every part that it covers. Should My Horse Wear The Blanket In His Stable? The Blanket is designed to be worn 24 hours per day, every day by horses at grass. We believe that Sweet Itch horses are much better if they are kept at grass the whole time (thus avoiding the 'boredom factor' in stabling - a stabled horse can spend hours looking for things to rub on and may consequently exacerbate any itchiness). However if circumstances are such that he has to be stabled for part of the day then he should wear his blanket unless you are able to completely stop midges entering the stable - very difficult! Which Midge Repellent Should I Use When I Take The Blanket Off to Ride My Horse? The blanket is quickly removed for riding, but it is important to remember that the horse can then be bitten. It is quite possible to ride or drive (and even jump)with the blanket in place, but if "street cred" or saddle design precludes this option then 'Spray Gold DEET' should be used while riding without the protection of the blanket. Can I Keep The Blanket On When I Ride My Horse? Yes, during particularly midgey evenings you can ride out with the Blanket in place. The belly-flap and hood (if worn) are removed and the back leg straps loosened. The stirrups conveniently hang below the bottom hem of the Blanket. What Other Equine Products Does Boett Offer?
