Product Information

Full details

The Waldhausen Ice Layer Cooling Blanket is designed for horse owners seeking an efficient way to manage their horse's body temperature during intense heat or after exercise. By utilizing advanced evaporative cooling technology, the blanket saves water while lowering the horse's temperature evenly; however, it requires constant human supervision and is strictly intended for supervised use rather than turnout or pasture wear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I leave the blanket on while the horse is in the paddock?

No, this product is strictly for supervised use only and should not be used in pastures, paddocks, or during turnout.

How does the cooling mechanism work?

The blanket uses special materials that allow water to evaporate slowly, which removes heat from the horse's body during the process.

Do I need to soak the entire blanket?

Yes, for optimal performance, ensure the entire blanket is submerged in your water bucket before applying it to the horse.

Is the chest clip adjustable?

The blanket is designed with a convenient clip on the chest to secure the fit, but it should be checked for a comfortable tension.

How should I store the blanket when not in use?

Clean any debris off the blanket, ensure it is completely dry to prevent mildew, and store it in a cool, dry place.

Is this blanket available in different sizes?

Yes, Waldhausen offers several sizes ranging from 125cm to 165cm to accommodate various horse sizes.

Troubleshooting

Blanket is not cooling the horse effectively

Ensure the blanket is sufficiently damp; if it feels dry, submerge it in water again to re-activate the cooling properties.

Blanket is dripping excessively after application

Make sure to wring out the excess water more thoroughly after removing it from the bucket before placing it on the horse.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides immediate, even cooling relief for the horse
  • Uses significantly less water than continuous hosing
  • Easy to activate and apply via bucket submersion
  • Secure chest clip ensures the blanket stays in place while being monitored

Cons

  • Not suitable for turnout, pasture, or paddock use
  • Requires constant supervision while the horse is wearing it
  • Cannot be left on the horse indefinitely or unsupervised

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the blanket for use, ensure you have a clean bucket large enough for the unit to be fully submerged. After use, the blanket should be rinsed if it has accumulated debris and hung to dry in a ventilated area to prevent mold or mildew growth. It is not compatible with turnout gear; avoid placing it on the horse if you intend to leave them unattended in a field or stable. Always check the chest clips for integrity before each use, and ensure the blanket is sized correctly for your horse to avoid slipping or chafing.
