Rugs - what do you use for....

[Starbucks]

Cold cooling off??

e.g. if you've got a sweaty horse and then they have to stand in a chilly stable.

I know people rave about thermatex (sp?) and expensive rugs but we use wool rugs and I think they are fab! You can see all the sweat on the outside!

Also, mu hunt coat (100% wool) keeps me soooo warm and dry, but i never get that hot either - natural products can't be beaten IMO!

I just use a fleece cooler, but he doesn't work hard enough to be sweaty often!

Ive got a waffle cooler for my lot, does the job. Mae has a fleece cooler, its past its sell by date but i love it too much to chuck it out!!!

 

[Christmas_Kate]

i use a fleece cooler with a sweat sheet under and straw inbetween.

 

[Persephone]

Depends how cold it is! Star gets worked pretty hard and can come back hot even with a hunter clip. I tend to use a thermatex most of the time. Otherwise a weatherbeeta fleece does the trick.

Good quality fleece cooler - you can see tiny droplets of wet standing on the outside of the cooler after half an hour ... works just as it says on the tin!

Rambo cooler or is it masta ? cant remember what make it is lol ... its a grey/silver with black trim .


*must pay more attention to detail *

cheeky sod! yes I do, if they've sweated up loads and it's cold out I find it works best.

Can't afford these thermatex thingies

Don't have one any more but used to use the Masta fleece coolers.

 

[ISHmad]

Weatherbeeta fleece cooler or Thermatex.

 

[moodymare1987]

I use the weatherbeeta fleece cooler but he is getting clipped so no more sweaty horse

 

[JenHunt]

despite being clipped out i still have the worlds sweatiest horse! i wash him off quickly in warm water and squeegy and towel him til he's almost dry, then put on a thick fleece rug, and if its really cold i'll put a cotton sheet over the top cos it keeps the draughts out.
dry in no time!

 

[Cop-Pop]

I used a Masta waffle rug or a fleece cooler depending on which is closer

 

[MagicMelon]

I use a thermatex if its a really cold day, but TBH I find my WB fleece better.
