Fleece blankets are true multifunctional blankets. The primary function of a fleece is to prevent your horse from getting cold after training, while still releasing excess heat. A fleece blanket is thus primarily used as a cooler rug.

Why does my horse need a fleece blanket?

A fleece blanket is mostly used after intensive training or a competition. It is important that your horse can cool down gradually after a period of exertion. If they cool off too fast, the horse can get sick. So a fleece blanket or a sweat rug is a great investment. This type of blanket wicks the moisture away from your horse so the animal dries off more quickly while still staying warm. It is important to use a fleece blanket for a relatively short time because the fleece can become clammy and the horse may still be cold.

In the summer or in warmer weather, we advise not using a fleece blanket that is too warm, which would make your horse sweat more.

Fleece blankets can also be used as under rugs and as transport rugs to keep your horse warm in the trailer.
