How to Use
- Use after exercise, bath time or travel, when the horse is warm or damp and needs to dry and cool gradually.
- Place the cooler evenly over the back, with the front edge sitting at the chest.
- Fasten the twin double chest straps and adjust to give a comfortable fit, allowing a hand's width at the chest.
- Cross the surcingles under the belly and clip into the opposite side, leaving a hand's width of space.
- Attach the fillet string under the tail to help the back of the rug stay settled.
- Keep the horse moving gently or in a settled environment until dry, then remove and brush off the coat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a cooler rug for?
A: A cooler is designed to wick moisture away from the coat and help the horse cool gradually after exercise, washing or travel, without catching a chill.
Q: Is the cotton breathable?
A: Yes. Natural cotton is breathable and works with airflow to draw dampness away from the coat.
Q: Can I use it as a turnout rug?
A: No. This is a cotton cooler, designed for the stable, lorry and showground rather than for outdoor turnout in wet weather.
Q: When should I use a cooler?
A: Throw it on after schooling, after a bath or wash down, or before a long lorry journey home from a show, while the horse is still warm or damp.
Q: How do I size a cooler?
A: Measure from the centre of the chest along the side of the body to the point of the buttock. Choose the rug size closest to that measurement.
Q: How do I wash it?
A: Brush off loose hair and dirt, then machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Air dry away from direct heat to protect the natural cotton and rope edging.
