What does a fleece rug do for horses?
Kentucky Horsewear offers fleece blankets designed for practicality and functionality. In this blog post, we'll discuss the versatile uses of these blankets, why your horse needs one, the different types available, and why choosing Kentucky Horsewear is a smart move for equestrians.
Why does my horse need a fleece blanket?
Kentucky Horsewear's fleece blankets are designed to prevent your horse from getting cold after training while releasing excess heat. Primarily used as cooler rugs, they aid in the gradual cooldown process after intensive training or competitions.
It's crucial to help your horse cool down gradually to prevent illness. Fleece blankets efficiently wick moisture away, facilitating quick drying while maintaining warmth. Picture this: as your horse is sweating under the rug, you'll notice it showing on the rug. Interestingly, despite the dampness, your horse underneath stays entirely dry. It's the perfect way to ensure your horse stays comfortable while cooling off.
Our fleece rugs go beyond post-training use. They serve as under rugs and transport rugs, ensuring your horse stays warm during transport. With different types available, you can choose the one that suits your horse's needs.

Last but not least, the Heavy Fleece Rug Square is a mix between the Horse Duvet and the Heavy Fleece Rug. Thanks to the square shape and size, the fleece rug can be worn and used in different ways. The extended neckpiece can be folded over or serve as a neckpiece for more warmth. Because of the lack of pressure between the rug and the manes, you don’t need to worry about rubbing. You also don’t have to worry about tangling cross surcingles or the pressure of front closures.
All of these rugs have the look and feel of an authentic wool rug without all of the inconveniences that a wool rug can have. Our Heavy Fleece rugs don’t have shavings sticking to them and can be washed to look brand new again.
Besides these classic fleece rugs, we also have exercise rugs available.
