Anti-pill fleece built for the jobs a waterproof turnout rug was never meant to do

Cooling a horse out after exercise, travelling, and light layering under a turnout rug, jobs where breathability and moisture-wicking matter more than shedding rain.

Not on its own in wet weather, fleece isn't waterproofed and will soak through. It works well layered under a turnout rug, or used indoors and for travel instead.

Yes, that's the point of the anti-pill finish, it resists the bobbling and matting that ordinary fleece develops after repeated machine washes, unlike standard fleece fabric.

A fleece cooler is thinner and built to wick moisture away quickly after work or bathing; a stable rug holds more warmth for standing in a box overnight. Use a cooler for drying, a stable rug for settled overnight warmth.

Machine wash on a normal cycle and avoid fabric softener, which reduces fleece's moisture-wicking performance over time and can cause static.

It's better suited to short-term use, cooling out, travel, layering, than as a standalone overnight rug, since it doesn't offer the sustained warmth or coat protection of a proper stable rug.

Return it unused, with packaging, under our returns policy for an exchange or refund.

Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side, to the point of the buttock, in a straight line rather than over the curve of the body. That figure in inches is the rug size; this listing is sized 72". If your horse falls between sizes, size up rather than down.
