It is best for riders who need a reliable drying and travelling layer for a warm, damp or clipped horse, whether that is after schooling, at a show, or standing on the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe acrylic and wool blend fabric draws moisture away from the body to help prevent chilling, and moulds to the horse's shape so it stays in direct contact for effective wicking.
