Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Crystal Cooler is designed for horse owners looking to manage their horse's body temperature after exercise or during warm weather. By utilizing water-reactive crystals integrated into the liner, this rug provides a sustained cooling effect that aids in thermal regulation. While it is a highly effective tool for recovery, owners should be aware that it requires a lengthy initial soak and is strictly for supervised use rather than turnout.

FAQs
Can I leave my horse in this rug while out in the field?
No, the LeMieux Crystal Cooler is not suitable for turnout and must only be used while the horse is supervised.
How long does the initial activation take?
The initial soak requires 4 hours to ensure the water-reactive crystals are fully charged.
How do I reactivate the cooling effect?
You can reactivate the rug by re-soaking it in water until the crystals absorb the required moisture.
Is this rug machine washable?
While the mesh is durable, we recommend hand washing or gentle surface cleaning to maintain the integrity of the crystal-filled pockets.
What is the best way to store the cooler?
Store in a cool, dry place once it has been allowed to dry completely to prevent moisture buildup or mold.
Troubleshooting
The rug is not providing a cooling sensation.
Ensure the rug was soaked for the required time and that the air has sufficient movement to aid in the evaporation process.
The crystals seem unevenly distributed.
Gently shake or pat the rug sections while wet to redistribute the crystals evenly across the liner pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the rug for its first use, soak the cooler in water for at least 4 hours to ensure the crystals are fully activated. For routine re-activation after use, soak until the crystals have regained their capacity. Always allow the rug to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storage to prevent mold. This product is intended for supervised use only; do not leave your horse unattended while wearing the cooler. Ensure the rug is kept clean and free from debris, using only gentle, horse-safe detergents if washing is required.
