Looking at buying my pony but he runs quite hot, just wondering if anyone has one and if it keeps them cool?

My fully clipped out horse was boiling in his and it slipped badly. I was disappointed with it to be honest.

There's no link but I think its the one i bought recently. Its really nice fabric, the same as the Premier Equine Super lite that i was replacing but the don't do little sizes anymore so i tried Ruggles. My pony ususally wears a sweeritch rug but i use this for hot weather, he has to be covered so for him its a cooler option.
I did find the sizing small. He's 4'9 in everything but I'd have been better off with a 5'. The ears pop out instantly

Ah ok, so the other fabric one is much heavier, I don't have it myself but a horse at work does. I find good pony fly wear difficult! My go-to was always Premier Equine but the 5' is massive, crazy massive!No, it was the other one but I’ll check that one out
The one I've just linked to I really like, I just wish I'd sent it back for a bigger size instead of telling myself it would do the job!

I managed to find one at my local tack shop, finding one in his size at tack shops is like gold dust

Not sure this link will work as I’m IT inept but I use these on my two. Very thin material and neither sweat in them. They do a 3’6” which might work. My Connie is 5’9” but in the 6’ and it fits him well.

Mine also slipped horrendously. I wouldn’t buy it again.
