What is a Horse Cooler Blanket?
Horse cooler blankets are blankets made of fleece or wool designed to dry and warm a horse after a workout in cold weather. Horse coolers are made of drying materials that wick moisture away from the horse's skin, but they can also be used to keep a horse clean the night before a show, and as an extra layer when blanketing for cold weather.
Why is Fleece the Most Common Material to use for Coolers?
Horse cooler blankets are commonly made from fleece material because of its drying properties. The horse cooler was designed to wick sweat away from the horse's skin after long rides. Fleece horse coolers also provide warmth to ensure the horse isn't chilled while they are drying off. Some people prefer a horse cooler with neck attachment to also cover the horses neck while they are drying to provide extra protection.
Fleece material is also very stylish. It comes in many different colors and patterns to meet the needs of any rider's style. Horse fleece coolers sometimes come with matching accessories like brushes, jackets, or boots.
Should I get a Horse Cooler Sheet or Horse Cooler Blanket?
Horse fleece coolers also have different thickness options for different seasons. For the cold seasons thicker horse cooler blankets are available, and thinner horse cooler sheets are available when it is warm to make sure your horse won't overheat.
