What is a cooler sheet?

Cooler sheets are used for cooling down horses. It’s important that a horse can sweat after an intensive training session or competition, and not cool down too quickly. This reduces the risk of muscle pain and injury and makes it less likely that the horse will catch a cold – because a cooler blanket absorbs and retains moisture, allowing the horse to recover better and faster. You need to be careful not to leave the blanket on for too long, though, as this could result in the horse becoming clammy and still catching a cold.

How long should a horse wear a cooler sheet?

Depending on the temperature and the intensity of the training, most horses will cool down within 15 to 60 minutes. As every horse is different, this can vary a lot. So, it’s important to look at your horse to see if they’re still sweaty or damp from training. If this is not the case, the cooler rug can be put away.

When should you choose a cooler sheet with neck cover?

Cooler blankets come in all types and sizes. As well as regular blankets, we also have cooler blankets with neck covers to prevent your horse’s neck from cooling down too quickly. They also quickly absorb sweat to keep your horse’s neck warm and protected. A blanket with neck cover is particularly beneficial at lower temperatures, when the risk of cooling down too quickly is greater. Our range has a suitable blanket or sheet for every kind of horse. Be inspired by our impressive range of Kentucky Horsewear and choose from a versatile collection of cooler blankets.
