Fleece Rugs & Cooler Rugs for Horses

Choosing the Right Fleece or Cooler Rug

Fleece and cooler rugs play a key role in your horse’s comfort during warm-up, cool-down, or travel.

After Exercise or Bathing:
A cooler rug helps wick away moisture and prevent your horse from catching a chill. Breathable mesh or fleece blends regulate temperature while your horse dries off.

During Travel or Show Prep: Fleece rugs are great for keeping your horse warm and clean while travelling or waiting ringside. They offer a soft, breathable layer that helps avoid dust and draughts.

As a Layer in the Stable:
Layer a fleece rug under a stable rug for extra warmth during colder spells. They’re also useful for clipped horses or those that lose condition easily.

Fleece Rugs & Cooler Rugs for Horses FAQs

When should I use a fleece rug on my horse?
A fleece rug is ideal after exercise, during travel, or as an extra layer in the stable during cooler weather. It helps regulate your horse’s temperature and wicks away moisture to prevent chills.

Can I use a cooler rug in winter?
Yes, but typically as a short-term solution for example, after riding. Cooler rugs help dry sweat quickly, but they are not designed to provide long-lasting warmth. Layer with a stable rug if extra insulation is needed.

How do I wash a fleece or cooler rug?
Remove hair and dirt first, then wash using a non-biological detergent at a cool temperature. Air dry fully before storing. For convenience, use a rug wash bag to protect your washing machine.

Can fleece rugs be used for shows or travel?
Yes fleece rugs, especially show sheets, are perfect for keeping horses clean and presentable during transport or while waiting at shows. They also help regulate temperature during stops and travel delays.
