Horse Fleeces, Coolers and Travel Rugs

Browse our range of luxurious fleeces and coolers. Coolers will help wick away moisture after you have ridden and help keep your horse warm, ideal for use in the stable or whilst travelling.

Horse fleeces are a versatile piece of equestrian kit, perfect for keeping your horse warm after exercise, during travel, or while stabled in cooler weather. Designed to wick away moisture while maintaining comfort, fleeces help prevent your horse from catching a chill as they cool down. Available in a variety of styles and weights, they’re a practical choice for everyday use and an ideal extra layer in your horse’s rug collection.

Styles from brands such as Hy, Rhinegold, Whitaker and Premier Equine.

• What is the difference between a horse fleece and a cooler rug? 

  • A horse fleece is made from soft, insulating material that provides warmth and wicks away sweat, making it ideal after exercise or for use in the stable. A cooler rug is specifically designed to regulate temperature and wick away moisture, keeping the horse comfortable whilst cooling down post-exercise or during travel.

• When should I use a fleece or cooler rug? 

  • Both fleeces and coolers are most commonly used after exercise to help your horse dry off and prevent chills, during travel for comfort, or as an extra layer in the stable when it’s cool but not cold enough for a heavy weight rug.

• Can my horse be turned out in a fleece or cooler? 

  • No, fleeces and coolers are not suitable for turnout. They are not waterproof and can quickly become heavy and uncomfortable if they get wet. For turnout, use a properly fitted turnout rug.

• Are fleeces and coolers suitable for clipped horses? 

  • Yes, clipped horses benefit greatly from fleeces and coolers after exercise, as they help regulate temperature and wick sweat away from the skin. They are especially useful in colder months when clipped horses lose their natural insulation.

• How should I wash and care for a horse fleece or cooler? 

  • Most fleeces and coolers can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they reduce moisture-wicking properties. Always check the care label and allow the rug to air dry fully before storing or using.
