Did you know that...
wet coat insulates significantly worse than a dry one? The insulating effect of a horse's coat is created, among other things, by air trapped between the hairs. If the coat becomes heavily soaked, part of this air cushion is lost and body heat can be released more quickly. This is precisely why swift cooling down after training is so important: A functional cooler rug supports the drying process and helps your horse to cool down in a controlled manner after exertion.

FAQ
When is a fleece cooler rug particularly useful?
It is particularly suitable after training, hacks, or tournament appearances when the coat is damp from sweat. The fleece absorbs the moisture, wicks it to the outside, and helps the horse to dry.
What is the difference between a fleece cooler rug and a softshell cooler rug?
A classic fleece cooler rug focuses primarily on moisture wicking, breathability, and comfortable warmth while drying. Due to its outer layer, a softshell cooler rug additionally offers more protection against wind and light moisture. Which version is more sensible therefore depends primarily on the place of use and the weather.
Why is fleece so well-suited for cooling down?
Polar fleece can absorb moisture from the coat and transfer it to the outside, while the material remains breathable at the same time. This allows the horse to dry without moisture remaining unnecessarily in the coat.
How do I know when my horse has finished cooling down?
Regularly check the coat under the rug. If it is largely dry and the horse feels pleasantly warm, the cooler rug has fulfilled its purpose. Afterwards, it can be removed or, if necessary, replaced with the appropriate stable or outdoor rug.
Why do horses with thick winter coats often take longer to cool down?
Thick coats can store significantly more sweat. As a result, it takes longer for the moisture to evaporate completely. Especially after intensive work, a functional cooler rug supports the drying process and prevents the horse from standing with a damp coat for a long time.
Can the cooler rug also be worn during transport?
Yes, the detachable surcingles ensure that the rug stays securely in place even when moving. This can be especially practical after training. During the journey, however, you should still check whether your horse is getting too warm, as horses produce additional body heat when balancing in the horsebox.
What does anti-pilling mean for a fleece cooler rug?
Anti-pilling means that the fleece is less prone to forming small fiber knots. As a result, the surface remains smooth, soft, and well-maintained for longer, even with regular use and frequent washing.
When should I use the surcingles and when can I remove them?
If your horse is moving freely with the rug, for example in the box or during transport, the inner surcingles provide additional support and at the same time ensure a particularly neat look. When cooling down in a controlled manner at the grooming area, you can remove them if required.
Can I also use the cooler rug after washing my horse?
Yes, but you should first remove larger amounts of water. Our SUNRIDE EquiTowel, for example, is suitable for this, as it can absorb a lot of moisture directly from the coat. Afterwards, the fleece cooler rug can absorb the remaining moisture and support further drying.

Description
- Supports fast cooling - controlled drying after training: After work, sweat and moisture remain in the coat while the body already begins to cool down. The Wellington fleece cooler rug absorbs this moisture and transports it to the outside, where it can evaporate. This allows your horse to dry faster and stay at a comfortable temperature during the recovery phase.
- 280 g/m² double-sided anti-pilling fleece - soft, warming, and durably maintained: The dense fleece offers a balanced combination of warmth and moisture management without being unnecessarily heavy. Thanks to the anti-pilling finish, the surface is less prone to forming small fiber knots and retains its soft, high-quality look for longer, even with regular use.
- Quick-drying - get rid of moisture rapidly: The functional material quickly releases absorbed moisture into the environment. This means that not only does your horse's coat dry faster, but the cooler rug itself dries quickly, making it ready for the next use in no time.
- Machine washable - hygienic for regular training: Sweat, hair, and typical stable dirt can be easily washed out in the washing machine. Especially for a frequently used horse rug, simple cleaning is important to keep the material clean and comfortable for the horse.
- Breathable - heat and water vapor can escape: The open-pored structure of the fleece supports air circulation and prevents an unnecessary build-up of heat under the rug. This allows your horse to cool down without an unpleasantly damp climate forming under the material.
- With detachable, internal surcingles - secure hold and a clean look: The straps stabilize the cooler rug even when your horse moves in the stall or during transport. Due to their internal routing, they remain visually discreet and do not disrupt the clean lines of the rug. If they are not needed, they can be easily removed, allowing for flexible adaptation to the respective use.
- T-front closure - quickly fastened and reliably secured: The practical front closure can be operated in just a few simple steps and holds the fleece cooler rug securely in the chest area. Especially after training, the uncomplicated handling is convenient when you want to blanket your horse as quickly as possible.
- Optional chest extender - more space for powerfully built horses: For horses with a broad chest or pronounced shoulders, the front area can be specifically expanded. The matching "T-Rex" T-extender creates additional freedom of movement without having to immediately choose a larger rug size.
- Practical storage bag - neatly stored and quickly at hand: The matching bag protects your equipment from dust and dirt when not in use and ensures organized storage in the stable, locker, or horse trailer. At the same time, you can keep the products together compactly and take them with you conveniently for training or tournaments.
