Product Information

Full details

The Horseware Ireland Autumn Cooler is a high-performance, multipurpose rug designed for equestrian owners seeking an efficient way to wick moisture and maintain stable warmth post-exercise. Featuring a 100g quilted construction with an internal polar fleece lining, it is ideal for travel, recovery, and stall use; however, its single Velcro front closure makes it better suited for supervised use rather than long-term turnout in harsh weather.

FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

No, the Autumn Cooler is designed for stable and travel use and is not waterproof.

Can I use this for turnout?

This rug is intended for indoor use, such as in the stable or during travel, rather than for outdoor turnout.

How do I determine the right size for my horse?

Horseware rugs are measured in inches along the back. It is recommended to measure from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail.

Are the surcingles adjustable?

Yes, the two included surcingles are adjustable to ensure a snug fit around the horse's belly.

How should I clean the tail cord?

The tail cord is designed to be wiped clean with a damp cloth; simply wipe it down after use to keep it sanitary.

What is the weight of the rug?

This rug features 100g of quilted fill, making it a medium-lightweight option for cool weather.

Troubleshooting

The rug is sliding back or shifting during movement.

Check that the surcingles are adjusted to the correct length and the rug is properly positioned at the withers.

The rug seems to be retaining moisture rather than wicking it.

Ensure the rug is not being layered underneath a waterproof turnout rug that lacks breathability, which can trap humidity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities
  • Lightweight yet warm quilted design
  • High mobility due to dual-leg arches
  • Easy to clean tail cord and durable materials

Cons

  • Single Velcro front closure is less secure than buckle systems
  • Not intended for outdoor turnout
  • Requires careful sizing selection for optimal fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, drape it evenly over the horse's back, ensuring the withers are properly cleared. Fasten the Velcro front closure first, then attach the two surcingles underneath the belly, ensuring they are snug but not tight. The tail cord should be looped through the tail flap area and cleaned regularly with a damp cloth to prevent mud buildup. For washing, follow the manufacturer's specific care tag, usually involving a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and always air dry to maintain the integrity of the fleece lining and quilted outer fabric.
