Bucas – Top-Class Dutch Derek Manufactory
Bucas is synonymous with Dutch elegance, precise craftsmanship, and the highest quality riding rugs. Since 1981, the Bucas brand has been providing innovative solutions for horses worldwide, combining traditional knowledge with modern technologies. Each Bucas rug is handcrafted by experienced Italian artisans in a workshop located in the heart of Italy, where a passion for equestrianism and a long tradition exquisitely combine.
Brand History – From Passion to Global Success
The Bucas story began in 1981, when a group of Italian engineers, designers, and equestrian enthusiasts set out to create rugs that not only protect horses but also provide them with maximum comfort. Believing that every horse deserves the best, the company focused on innovative fabrics, ergonomic design, and precise fit, creating rugs that have become synonymous with quality and durability.
The Bucas team combined years of experience in equestrian biomechanics research, analyzing foot pressure distribution in the stirrups, the ergonomics of the rider's position, and the dynamics of the horse's movement. This resulted in blankets that perfectly fit the horse's silhouette, ensuring freedom of movement and optimal thermoregulation, supporting health and training in all equestrian disciplines, and testing a revolutionary approach to blanket design.
A breakthrough came with the introduction of rugs with an anatomical cut, advanced fastening systems, ergonomic linings, and innovative thermoregulatory materials. Bucas, a company that has always prioritized research and development, introduced manufacturing based on classic weaving methods that eliminated the risk of traditional seams splitting—a key factor in both horse comfort and rug durability.
Today, over 35 years later, Bucas is a global premium brand, recognized worldwide.
