Custom Original Thermatex Cooler Rug - Black

An equestrian classic and the rug that established Thermatex as a horse owner favourite, the Original Cooler Rug in black with the binding of your choice is designed to help your horse regulate temperature while effectively wicking away moisture. Its unique construction combines two layers of knitted Thermatex fabric with a central layer of polypropylene insulation, allowing moisture to evaporate through the rug while helping to prevent chilling.

Ideal after exercise or bathing, during travel, at competitions or in the stable, it is particularly valuable for clipped horses and those prone to feeling the cold. Lightweight yet insulating, it provides dependable comfort when your horse needs to dry without becoming cold.

Features

Original Standard Check Thermatex fabric
Inner and outer knitted layers with central polypropylene insulation
Powerful wicking action to draw moisture away from the body
Insulating layer helps prevent chilling during cooling and drying
Seamless construction for direct contact with the coat
Hard-wearing trim and Roko buckles as standard

Made to order in Northamptonshire, England

Size & Care

Fit

Order one size SMALLER than your normal rug size. The fabric moulds to the horse
Rug sizes are based on length: centre of chest, along the side, to the base of the tail
Neck: from just in front of the wither, in a slight curve, to the centre of the chest, then double it
Depth: from the centre of the back down to where you want the rug to finish
Between sizes? Go down, not up
Size guide beside the size selector above

Care

Machine washable at home, even the largest sizes
Wool or gentle cycle at 30°C, short spin
Do not tumble dry
Pre-shrunk and colour fast, so it keeps its shape and colour wash after wash
