Horse Fleece Rugs
Horse fleece rugs are versatile, look sophisticated, are soft to the touch, absorb sweat and water, are lightweight and breathable, and some fabrics are shavings repellent. Fully synthetic fleece is made of polyester fibres threaded in an open pattern that makes it extremely warm and breathable. The fabric is then brushed to increase its volume and give it that cosy fussiness. This fabric is often made of recycled plastics, like soda and water bottles, which adds a touch of eco-friendliness to the process. Some fabrics incorporate fibres of wool or rayon for extra breathability, moisture absorption, and durability.
There is a wide range of fleece horse rugs and plenty of patterns, colours, thicknesses, finishings, and prices. One of the main advantages of horse fleece rugs is their ability to absorb moisture, helping dry your horse after training or a bath, which is extremely useful in those cold days when you don’t want your horse to catch a chill. We always think about our horses as athletes and, sudden temperature changes are not good for anyone, especially if hot after a training session. Abrupt cool-downs in horses can lead to cramps, respiratory issues, digestive problems, and discomfort, which are easily avoided by using a fleece rug as soon as you finish training on a cold day. The materials used in fleece rugs are pretty sturdy so you can use the more expensive fleece rugs without worrying too much. Worst case it will need a wash.
Light horse fleece rugs are ideal for cold summer and spring days, and you can layer them under heavier rugs or blankets on the coldest days of the year. Also, you can roll them over the saddle and turn them into horse exercise sheet fleeces while warming up or cooling down your horse or going out to the field for a walk, protecting their back from chills.
There are also many models of pony fleece rugs to suit the needs of the cutest equestrian companions, offering comfort, warmth, and versatility thanks to the exceptional properties of this fantastic fabric.
Horse Fleece Blankets
Sometimes, you can find the term horse fleece blanket to describe heavier and sturdier horse fleece rugs. But don’t worry, don’t let these terms confuse you, as it is common to use them as synonyms. This being said, it’s important to know that thanks to fleece’s flexibility, you can find heavy-duty water-resistant products that can be washed without losing their water repellency.
Whether you are looking for stable, travel, showing, turnout, everyday summer, winter, or all-season weather protection for your horse, fleece is an excellent material for your horse and practical for you because of its versatility, practicality, and durability.
