Shires Fleece & Cooler Rugs

A sudden reduction in body temperature after exercise can lead to chills and in extreme cases hypothermia.
Allowing gradual cooling can help regulate the blood flow and reduce muscle soreness and strains.
Sweating is one way the horse cools but excessive sweating can make rugs damp which in cool weather will become cold, potentially dropping body temperatures too quickly. Using cooler rugs specifically designed for the purpose can greatly reduce these risks.
