Water-activated cooling rug that is tested to reduce the horse’s temperature by up to 5.9 degrees centigrade, without getting them soaking wet. Ideal for cooling horses on the go, at shows and events, or when access to running water is limited. *Testing conducted on horses in the stable in temperatures ranging between 28-30 degrees centigrade, and horses exercised for 20 minutes and cooled directly afterwards. Rug comes with a detachable neck made from the same material so even more cooling for the horse!

How the Quick Chill Works

Your horse will be warmer than the rug, and so the thermal energy will move via conduction from the hottest place (the horse) to the cooler place (the rug) to equalise temperatures. The water from the rug also evaporates into the atmosphere to further aid cooling, similar to what happens when your horse sweats to naturally attempt to cool themselves down.

The cooling area of the rug is contoured and shaped so that it covers the large muscle groups across the back and hindquarters with direct contact, and the remainder of the rug is mesh to allow it to remain lightweight for use in the summer, but also to remain well-ventilated to facilitate breathability and evaporation to further aid the cooling process.  

The Specialised Material within the Quick Chill

The rug is made from a high tech, breathable open cell structure material, which is designed to effectively absorb and store water. This material has been chosen for its ability to retain water, but also to allow the water molecules to move through the fabric easily.

The rug should be fully submerged in a bucket of water, or thoroughly soaked. Once removed from the bucket, wring out the excess water and place onto the horse. The water stored within the fabric is essential for the cooling process, but due to it being held within the fabric, it will stop your horse from getting soaking wet when used for up to 10 minutes.

How to Use the Quick Chill Rug

Simply submerge the cooling rug in a bucket of water until it is fully saturated, before wringing it out.

If you have limited access to water, you can activate the rug as above where you have running water (i.e. at home or the stables), before placing it into a plastic bag and taking it with you to where it is needed. The rug will stay activated in this environment for the rest of the day.

Alternatively, sprinkle water from a hose or bottle of water onto the rug, wring out the excess water and then put on your horse.

The rug can then either be reactivated in water to be used again straight away or left to dry out.

Care should be taken in humid climates and the rug should be checked more often, as humidity can affect the process of evaporation in general, from the rug or even on an un-rugged horse.
