The cooling blanket offers an effective and sustainable solution to cool your horse during high temperatures while promoting its health. The immediate cooling effect, activated by simply immersing the blanket in water, quickly and continuously regulates the horse’s body temperature (2 to 3 degrees Celsius within 20 to 30 minutes). Unlike traditional hosing, the cooling effect lasts longer due to evaporative cooling, reliably protecting the horse from heat stress and circulation problems. The special material ensures efficient water absorption and even distribution, while the extremely breathable structure allows optimal air circulation. The blanket is also lightweight, space-saving, and easy to apply, making it perfect for on-the-go use. With magnetic closures at the chest and neck and a removable neck piece, the blanket is versatile and adaptable. An additional cloth included in the package makes the blanket a true all-rounder, also useful for the care and cooling of other animals. Additionally, this blanket helps conserve resources by significantly reducing water consumption compared to traditional hosing.

• Instant cooling effect through evaporative cooling (activate with water) – supports circulation and body: Unlike traditional hosing down, where water remains in the horse’s coat and can cause it to heat up again quickly, this cooling effect lasts longer. Evaporative cooling works by allowing water on the blanket to evaporate, drawing heat away from the horse’s skin. Typically, this method can lower a horse’s body temperature by about 2 to 3 degrees Celsius within 20 to 30 minutes. This helps prevent heat stress and quickly stabilizes the horse’s well-being.

• Promotes health – for more joy and vitality: The cooling effect of the blanket reduces heat stress and supports your horse’s circulation. Especially on hot summer days, the cooling helps regulate body temperature, reducing strain on the circulatory system and minimizing the risk of overheating or circulatory issues. By continuously cooling the horse, the blanket enhances well-being and helps prevent muscle tension caused by extreme temperatures. In summer, this blanket is essential, providing effective protection and safeguarding your horse from health issues related to overheating.

• Sustainable (reduces water consumption) – conserve resources, help the environment: While constantly hosing down horses consumes large amounts of water, our cooling blanket requires only a small amount to activate the cooling effect. This helps minimize water usage and conserve natural resources. With water scarcity becoming an increasing concern in many regions, it is more important than ever to use water responsibly. By using this blanket, horse owners can not only support their animals' health but also contribute to environmental protection by sustainably reducing water consumption.

• Special material – smart technology for effective cooling: The properties of this special material enable efficient evaporative cooling. It is not enough to simply wet a regular blanket and put it on the horse, as other materials do not have the same thermoregulating properties. The unique composition of the fibers and the structure of the blanket ensure that water is optimally absorbed and evenly distributed, providing consistent cooling. Only this way can the cooling effect work effectively and protect the horse from overheating.

• Extremely breathable – for pleasantly cool moments: The main mechanism of evaporative cooling relies on water evaporating, absorbing heat from the horse’s skin, creating a cooling effect. For this process to work effectively, the moisture, heat generated by evaporation, and air must be able to escape regularly. The breathable fabric allows air and moisture to escape while maintaining the evaporative cooling. Without this breathability, moisture would accumulate, air circulation would be blocked, and the cooling effect would be reduced or even completely negated.

• Lightweight and space-saving – convenient and always ready to use: The material has been designed to provide effective cooling without being heavy or bulky. This makes the blanket easy to transport and store without taking up much space. A practical bag for storing the blanket is also included. This is especially useful for horse owners who are on the go or have limited storage space. Despite its lightweight design, the cooling blanket delivers excellent performance, providing effective cooling without compromising functionality.

• Easy to use – maximum effect with minimal effort: To activate the cooling effect, the blanket is first placed in a bucket of water so it can fully absorb it. After soaking, the blanket is simply wrung out to remove excess water and then placed directly on the horse. That’s it – simple and effective. If you own multiple cooling blankets, a single 10L bucket of water can soak two to three blankets at once. A helpful tip: the leftover water can be used to water plants, clean boots, or to reuse the cooling blanket.

• Magnetic closure at the chest and neck – innovative fastening for a secure fit: A magnet at the chest securely fastens the blanket, while two magnets at the neck provide additional support. These magnetic closures ensure that the blanket stays in place.

• With removable neck piece – flexible for any situation: The neck piece is designed to either be attached to the cooling blanket on the horse’s neck or used separately as an independent cooling aid. This flexibility allows the neck piece to be combined with the blanket or used alone to cool the neck area. This provides a customizable solution that can easily adapt to different needs and situations.

• With cloth – the extra for the perfect all-in-one solution: The package includes a practical cloth that can be used in multiple ways. It can be applied to specific areas, such as the horse's tendons or face, for gentle cooling. Additionally, the cloth is also ideal as a cooling blanket for dogs, who are often loyal companions of riders in the stable. This small but highly useful accessory makes our cooling blanket a true all-rounder, offering help in many situations.
