FAQ
What is a scrim dress cooler used for? It is a lightweight mesh rug thrown over a groomed horse to keep dust, shavings and stray hair off the coat between classes, without making the horse hot.
Will it keep my horse warm? No. It is a light mesh dust cover rather than a fleece or stable rug, so it is not intended as warmth for a cold or wet horse.
How do I choose the right size? Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the hindquarters and choose the nearest size. Dress coolers hang differently to stable rugs, so measure rather than copying an existing rug size.
My horse is between sizes - what should I do? Broad-shouldered horses and cobs are usually more comfortable in the larger size, which gives a better drape over the hindquarters.
Can I use it at home as well as at shows? Yes. It works well on the yard after grooming, before plaiting and while travelling, as well as ringside between classes.
How should I wash it? Brush off loose hair and dust first, then wash cool and dry naturally away from direct heat to protect the mesh and the braided trim.
