If you’re on the hunt for a cooler rug that works as hard as your horse does, you might just want to watch now and check out our latest product review featuring the Shires Tempest Original Air Motion Cooler. Chantal from Just Horse Riders takes you through this absolute gem—and we’re here to break it all down.
Why Every Yard Needs a Cooler Rug
Cooler rugs are must-haves for horse owners—especially for post-exercise, travel, or bath time. They help regulate body temperature and wick away moisture. The Shires Tempest Original Air Motion Cooler steps it up a notch with clever design and multi-season usability.
Meet the Brand Behind the Brilliance
This rug comes to us from Shires, a name well-known in the equestrian world for producing high-quality, functional riding gear. And this product is no exception.
Watch Chantal Break It Down
In our latest review video, Chantal from Just Horse Riders shares her firsthand experience: “One of the key features of this rug is that it's very lightweight and is designed with this air motion fabric.” Yes, that means it’s not only stylish—it’s smart, too.
Let’s Talk Fabric: Air Motion & Fleece
What is Air Motion Fabric?
This is the magic layer that helps moisture evaporate, keeping your horse cool and comfortable. Whether it’s after a bath, a hard ride, or a trailer journey, this rug’s breathable mesh works wonders.
Thermoregulating Fleece—No, It’s Not Science Fiction
Pairing technical 3D mesh with thermoregulating fleece, the rug creates a microclimate that supports muscle recovery and air circulation. Chantal calls out the fleece lining on the lower section: “It gives that little bit of extra warmth that makes sure your horse doesn't get too cold after exercising.”
Wither Protection? Check.
Ever had a rug that rubbed in all the wrong places? Not here. The SupaFleece wither pad is a soft, luxurious touch that prevents chafing and keeps your horse comfy. “It’s nice and soft on the withers,” Chantal notes, pointing to one of the often-overlooked details.
Adjustability is the Name of the Game
Quick-Fit Chest Straps
“The two chest strips right here at the front… both use the easy quick fastening,” says Chantal. Simple, secure, and adjustable—exactly what you need when you’re fumbling in the cold.
Cross Surcingles for the Win
These ensure a snug fit that stays in place, even if your horse decides to test its breakdancing skills in the stable.
Easy Maintenance = Happy Owner
Not a fan of complicated care instructions? We feel you. This rug is machine washable at 30 degrees and dries quickly. “Last but not least,” Chantal adds, “this rug is machine washable on 30 degrees and will dry really fast.” That’s a double win.
All-Season Versatility
From chilly winters to mild springs, this rug’s got your back—literally. It works well as a standalone cooler or an extra layer beneath heavier stable rugs or turnout rugs. Talk about year-round value!
Let’s Not Forget the Details
- Lined chest and shoulders for added comfort
