For the Horse

A cooler is one of the most useful rugs you can own. Made from wicking fleece, it draws moisture away from a hot or wet horse after exercise or washing, helping them dry evenly without catching a chill.

Light, smart and versatile, fleece rugs also work well for travelling and as an under-layer, making them a tack-room staple all year round.

How a cooler works

Fleece wicks moisture from the coat to its outer surface, where it evaporates. This lets a sweaty or washed-off horse dry gradually without getting cold, far better than leaving them wet or using a non-breathable rug.

More than cooling

Coolers double as travel rugs, show rugs and lightweight layers under a turnout. An anti-pill fleece keeps its appearance and performance wash after wash.

Keeping it in place

A shaped fit with a fillet string stops the rug slipping while a horse moves around cooling down. Make sure it is the right length so it does not pull across the shoulders.

Fleece Rugs & Coolers: your questions answered

After exercise, hunting or washing, or when travelling a warm horse. The cooler wicks moisture so the horse dries off without getting a chill.

No, fleece is not waterproof and offers little protection from wind and rain. Use it indoors, for cooling, travelling or as a layer, and a turnout rug in the field.
