Shires Tempest Original Fleece Rug - Breathable Horse Cooler & Travel Sheet - Multiple Sizes

The Ultimate Multi-Tasker for Your Horse's Wardrobe

The Shires Tempest Original Fleece Rug is the definition of a 'stable staple,' designed to handle everything from post-workout cooling to long hauls in the trailer. Crafted with high-quality thermal polar fleece, this rug works quickly to draw moisture away from the skin while trapping a layer of warm air to maintain your horse's core temperature and prevent post-exercise chills.

From our barn to yours, we know that comfort and durability are non-negotiable. That’s why this rug features thoughtful details like a plush wither pad and a smooth interior lining to prevent the rubs and hair loss often seen with lower-quality fleeces. Whether you're using it as a standalone cooler or a cozy under-layer, it’s built for the long haul and designed to stay in place.

Key Benefits for Horse & Rider

• Custom-Like Fit: Available in 3-inch increments, this rug provides a precise fit that won't slip or drag back, regardless of your horse's build.
