FAQ
How does the cooling rug work and how long does it take to see a cooling effect?
The cooling rug uses the cooling effect of evaporation to lower the horse's body temperature. The water contained in the rug evaporates, drawing heat away from the horse's skin. Within just 20 to 30 minutes, the temperature can drop by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius, thereby preventing heat stress and stabilizing the horse's well-being.
Can I also use the cooling rug on a horse suffering from circulatory problems?
Yes, the cooling rug can specifically help with circulatory problems. The cooling effect promotes blood circulation and stabilizes body temperature. However, it is always advisable to consult a veterinarian in the case of health issues.
What happens once the water has evaporated from the cooling rug?
The evaporation of the water provides the cooling effect. However, it is not necessary to constantly remoisten the cooling rug. The effect lasts for a certain time, depending on the outside temperature and humidity. It is important, however, that the cooling rug absorbs sufficient water initially. If needed, you can re-submerge the cooling rug in water after approx. 30 - 45 minutes.
Can I also use the cooling rug in hot weather if my horse is just standing in the stable and not being worked?
Yes, the cooling rug is perfect for hot days when the horse is in the paddock or the stable. It helps to regulate body temperature and prevents heat stress, even if the horse has not been actively worked but has simply been standing in the sun. This is particularly important for older and sick horses, which often react more strongly to temperature changes and are therefore more susceptible to circulatory problems. This cooling rug ensures their body temperature remains constant and protects them from the health risks of overheating.
Is the cooling rug also suitable for very sensitive horses?
Yes, the cooling rug is made from a special, breathable material that is gentle on your horse's skin. It is designed to be suitable even for sensitive animals that react sensitively to other cooling methods.
Can I also use the cooling rug for other animals?
Our cooling rug is versatile and can be used for all animal species, including horses, donkeys, llamas, cows, and many more. The scope of delivery also includes a practical cloth that is particularly well-suited for cooling small animals. It can also be used specifically for cooling horses' legs or faces to enable an even more individual application.
How do I need to maintain and clean the cooling rug?
The cooling rug is easy to maintain. It can be rinsed with water after use and air-dried. Ensure that you let it dry completely before storage to avoid mold growth. At temperatures up to 30 degrees, the cooling rug can also be machine washed, which makes cleaning even easier.
How is the best way to store or transport the cooling rug?
The cooling rug is very easy to store and transport, as a practical bag is included in the scope of delivery. This bag offers sufficient space and can even be labeled, allowing you to store it conveniently and in an organized manner.
Is the cooling rug suitable for use at horse shows?
Yes, the Cool Down cooling rug is perfect for use at horse shows. It is lightweight, space-saving, and easy to transport. Furthermore, it ensures that your horse can cool down quickly and effectively to support its circulation and health. The cooling rug is especially ideal at shows where there is often no possibility for hosing down. After a competition, it offers the perfect refreshment and helps to cool the horse down gently.
Is the cooling rug also effective in very high humidity?
Yes, the cooling effect is maintained even in high humidity, as the special material ensures that evaporative cooling continues to function even when the air cannot absorb as much moisture.

Description
- Instant cooling effect through evaporative cooling (activate with water) - support for circulation and the body: Unlike traditional hosing down of horses, where water remains in the coat and causes the horse to heat up again quickly, the cooling effect here lasts longer. Evaporative cooling works by allowing water to evaporate on the cooling blanket, drawing heat away from the horse's skin. Generally, cooling with this method can lower a horse's body temperature by about 2 to 3 degrees Celsius within 20 to 30 minutes. This helps to avoid heat stress and quickly stabilize the horse's well-being.
- Promotes health - for more vitality and quality of life: The cooling effect of the cooling blanket reduces heat stress and supports your horse's circulation. Especially on hot summer days, cooling helps to regulate body temperature, which reduces the strain on the circulatory system and minimizes the risk of overheating or circulation problems. By constantly cooling the horse, the blanket contributes to increased well-being and prevents muscle tension that can result from extreme temperatures. In summer, this cooling blanket is essential as it effectively protects the horse and shields it from health impairments caused by overheating.
- Sustainable (reduces water consumption) - conserving resources, helping the environment: While constant hosing down of horses consumes large amounts of water, our cooling blanket uses a small amount of water to activate the cooling effect. This helps to minimize water consumption and conserve natural resources. In view of increasing water scarcity in many regions, using water more consciously is becoming increasingly important. By using this cooling blanket, horse owners can not only promote the health of their animals but also contribute to environmental protection by sustainably reducing water consumption.
- Special material - clever technology for effective cooling: The properties of this special material make it possible to generate evaporative cooling efficiently. Simply wetting an ordinary fly rug or horse blanket and placing it on the horse is not sufficient, as other materials do not possess the same thermoregulatory properties. The specific composition of the fibers and the structure of the cooling blanket ensure that water is optimally absorbed and evenly released to ensure constant cooling. Only in this way can the cooling effect truly work and effectively protect the horse from overheating.
- Extremely breathable - for pleasantly cool moments: The main mechanism of evaporative cooling is based on the fact that water evaporates and absorbs heat from the horse's skin, creating a cooling effect. For this process to work effectively, the moisture, the 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 build up, air circulation would be blocked, and the cooling effect would be reduced or even completely eliminated.
- Lightweight and space-saving - handy and ready to use at any time: The material was developed to provide effective cooling without being heavy or bulky. This makes the cooling blanket easy to transport and store without taking up much space. A practical bag for storing the cooling blanket is also included. This is particularly convenient for horse owners who are on the go or have limited storage space. Despite its low weight, the cooling blanket offers excellent performance and ensures effective cooling without having to compromise on functionality.
- Easy to use - maximum effect with minimal effort: To activate the cooling effect, the cooling blanket is first placed in a bucket of water so that it can soak up completely. After immersion, the cooling blanket is simply wrung out to remove excess water and then placed directly on the horse. That's it – simple and effective. Those who own multiple cooling blankets can soak two to three blankets at once with a single bucket of water (10L). A practical tip: the remaining water can be used to water flowers, clean leg wraps, or to reuse the cooling blanket.
- Magnetic closure at chest and neck - innovative closure for a secure fit: There is a magnet on the chest that reliably closes the blanket, while two magnets on the neck piece provide additional hold. These magnetic closures ensure that the cooling blanket stays in place.
- With separate neck piece - flexible for any situation: The neck piece is designed so that it can either be attached to the horse's neck in addition to the cooling blanket or used alone as an independent cooling aid. This flexibility allows the neck piece to be combined with the cooling blanket or used specifically on the neck to cool this area as needed. Thus, the cooling blanket offers an individual solution that can be easily adapted to different requirements and situations.
- With cloth - the extra for the perfect complete solution: Included is a practical cloth that can be used in many ways. It can be used for spot cooling, for example, to gently cool areas such as the horse's tendons or face. In addition, the cloth is also excellent as a cooling blanket for dogs, which are often loyal companions of riders at the stable. This small but extremely useful accessory makes our cooling blanket a true all-rounder that helps in many situations.
