This innovative rug can be used quickly and easily in any stable and provides effective cooling on hot days - with no need to pre-chill it in the fridge or freezer. 
Simply dip the supplied bag containing the rug briefly into a bucket of water and wring it out. 
Through evaporative cooling, the mesh fabric lowers the horse's body temperature gently, evenly and over a large area. This helps to prevent horses from overheating, e.g. when travelling in summer or after strenuous training. 
The cooling effect can also have a positive effect on recovery, reduce inflammation and relieve insect bites. This rug is also an absolute blessing for older horses that struggle with the heat!

Sustainability and conserving resources are particularly important these days: 
With our cooling rug you save precious water in summers that are becoming ever hotter and drier, as long hosing-down sessions can be significantly reduced. 
On top of that, the rug can be reused again and again.

Please pull the rug forward at the chest and fasten it so that it hangs loosely; this keeps tension off the magnets and the rug stays closed at the chest. 

How to use How to use
Simply immerse the rug completely in water in the supplied bag, wring it out lightly and put it on. The cooling effect starts immediately through natural evaporation.
Safety notes Safety notes
Do not leave the horse unattended during use.
Not suitable for turnout in the field or paddock.

Keeps flies off while drying

Great combination: my horse can cool off in peace and doesn't have to keep kicking at flies. Nothing gets through the mesh-like but fine-meshed material.

Suitable for heavy horses too

I ordered the 165 for my Rhenish draught horse. I was worried at first about the fit at the chest and shoulder because he's very massive there, but the fastening can be adjusted superbly and it fits perfectly.

Takes a lot of punishment

I was sceptical at first because of the thin material, but my young stallion has already tried to bite into it a few times and the rug hasn't even pulled a thread. Really robustly made, the seams and the fastenings at the front give a very sturdy impression.

Satisfied

The rug does what it promises. A good investment, especially in summer. The size 145 fits my warmblood perfectly.

Pure relaxation for the horse

When I put the damp rug on on hot days, you can really see the horse blow out and enjoy it. It seems to be a very pleasant, not too shocking cooling effect.

Also protects well against insects

A nice side effect: when my gelding used to stand sweaty at the tie-up at dusk after riding, he got eaten alive by midges. The rug sits lightly and keeps the worst of the pests off while he cools off.

Convincing quality

I came across this rug by chance through an advert and I have to highlight the chest fastening in particular. It sits nice and high and doesn't press on the shoulder joint. A real asset for our yard first-aid kit/equipment.

Fast delivery, good product

Delivery arrived within two days. The rug gives a high-quality impression and cools very pleasantly when damp. My horse is relaxed.

The neck area fits superbly

Rugs are often much too wide at the neck opening and slip back behind the withers, which then rubs. On my rather slimly built Hanoverian the neck opening fits perfectly; it closes nicely but doesn't restrict him when grazing on the lead rope.

Top function

My friend raved about it so much, and the combination of cooling when wet and cooling off when dry is simply extremely practical. Worth every euro, I'd put it in the basket again straight away.
