Bucas Therapy Light Turnout Rug
Use this size guide to find the correct rug size for your horse. Bucas sizes rugs by length, in centimetres. Each size also has a UK feet-and-inches reference and a US inches reference.
How to measure your horse for a Bucas rug:
- Body length (A to B): measure from the centre of the chest, over the highest point of the shoulder, to the rear of the hind leg. Bucas uses this single measurement to set the rug size.
Bucas measures to the rear of the hind leg. Other UK rug brands often measure to the point of the buttock instead. These two methods can give different readings on the same horse, so always use a horse's Bucas measurement when choosing a Bucas rug. Do not reuse a size or measurement taken for another brand's rug.
If your horse falls between two sizes, or you are unsure of the measurement, contact Bucas directly. Bucas can post you a measuring tape: email admin@bucas.com to request one.

The Bucas Therapy Turnout combines the superb durability and comfort of Bucas Ballistic Nylon Turnouts with the therapeutic properties of the Stainless-Steel shield Recuptex fabric. The Recuptex material is made from an extremely fine, stainless steel mesh so it reflects the magnetic fields created inside the body. This in turn stimulates blood circulation and oxygen flow in the horse’s body and back, which heals and reduces both swelling and inflammation and promotes faster healing. It can be left on your horse for 24 hours, 7 days a week if necessary as it is NOT a magnetic rug, but it is advised to slowly increase and monitor the use of the Bucas Therapy rug when first used.
These therapeutic rugs are the ideal choice for helping horses including those with back problems or who are a little slow to warm up when riding. It also has been known to accelerate the recovery process of some aliments, and all of this in a natural environment. The Recuptex properties cannot be washed out. The silky Dermo-care lining wicks away moisture and keeps the inside of the rug and the horse dry.
This rug comes with the patented Click’n Go front with magnetic Snap-lock closure. The optional Bucas Therapy Turnout Combi Neck offers additional protection as well as the therapeutic properties of the Therapy Turnouts.
