Since 1981, when Bucas was founded in Cork, Ireland, they have been blending the rich Irish equestrian heritage with cutting-edge technical advancements gleaned from various industries, countries, and markets. This amalgamation has led to the creation of a diverse array of highly innovative and technically advanced products. Over the years, we've exported over 90% of our products to global markets.
In 1982, Bucas introduced their first high-performance water-resistant turnout rug, followed by fully waterproof and breathable rugs by the late eighties. They also perfected the "Stay-dry" principle, utilising wicking linings to draw sweat and moisture away from the horse while keeping the lining dry.
During the 1990s, they developed the first lightweight, fully waterproof, and breathable turnout, suitable for higher temperatures. Additionally, pioneered sun-reflective rugs and anti-bacterial linings.
In 2000, the revolutionary Buzz-Off full-body fly rug with anti-UV properties, garnering strong customer satisfaction. In 2012, the Buzz-Off Zebra fly rug was introduced, inspired by the natural deterrent effect of zebra stripes on flies.
In 2015, the innovative magnetic Snap-lock fastening was introduced across our premium ranges. The same year saw the debut of the first therapeutic horse rug, the Bucas Therapy rug, aiding in muscular relaxation and healing through improved blood circulation.
This tradition of pioneering "intelligent" horse rugs continues, with the product range offering more high-performance choices than ever before. And now, Chelford Farm Supplies proudly stocks the renowned Bucas range, ensuring your horse's comfort and performance are prioritised.
