It is best for riders who need a smart, moisture-wicking layer for cooling down after work, travelling to and from competitions, and keeping a horse tidy between classes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFleece is a natural choice for this job because it is breathable, quick to dry and draws moisture away from the coat rather than trapping it. That makes this rug a practical alternative to a heavier stable rug in mild conditions, and a useful extra layer underneath one when it turns colder.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft fleece fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e that helps wick moisture away from the coat after schooling or washing off\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShow-ready styling\u003c\/strong\u003e from the Hy Equestrian StormX Empra Victory range\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight and breathable\u003c\/strong\u003e for cooling down, travelling and standing at shows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolds down neatly\u003c\/strong\u003e for storage in the lorry, trailer or tack locker\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayering friendly\u003c\/strong\u003e so it can be used alone or under a stable or turnout rug\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuits all types\u003c\/strong\u003e from ponies and cobs to warmbloods and finer riding horses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHy Equestrian\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStormX Empra Victory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFleece show rug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFleece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShowing, travelling, cooling down, stable and yard use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHorses and ponies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush off hair and dried mud, wash per care label, dry naturally\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-rugs\"\u003ehorse rugs collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eMeasure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the buttock and choose the nearest size.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFold the rug in half, lay it over the withers and unfold it back along the body so the hair lies flat.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFasten the chest closures first, then any surcingles or leg straps fitted, working front to back.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheck you can slide a flat hand between the rug and the shoulder, and that the rug sits behind the withers without pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse over a sweaty or damp coat to help it dry, then swap to a stable or turnout rug once the horse is dry.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemove hair and dried mud with a stiff brush between uses and wash according to the care label.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat is a fleece show rug used for?\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eA fleece show rug is used to help a horse dry off after work or washing, to travel in, and to keep the coat tidy and settled between classes at a show.
