Riders tell us a good cooler wicks sweat to the surface fast and leaves the horse dry underneath.
Weatherbeeta Anti-Static Fleece Cooler Standard Neck - Navy/Burgundy
These are the most amazing coolers! They wick moisture away so fast that it beads on top of the cooler, leaving the horse comfortable and dry underneath.
They look good and attach well, but don't suck the moisture away well. It takes hours! In Wyoming winter I need something that drys a horse out quicker! That's why I've switched to Centaur Turbo Fleece Coolers. They will dry something out in half an hour.
Equinavia Luftig Waffle Cooler - Burgundy/Black
Haven't laundered it yet but, it appears to be well constructed. A previous reviewer suggested going up a size which is good advice. My mare is very "electric" so, fleece and wool coolers just aren't worth the static. THANK YOU for offering a cotton cooler. Just enough to help her dry and keep her back warm until it is dry.
This cooler is amazing! The Turbo Dry cuts our horse's drying time in half. The fabric pulls the moisture away from her hair/skin, so while the outside feels wet, she's dry underneath. It's extremely well made with neck and chest closures, as well as belly straps. And she looks absolutely stunning in the rich purple. I LOVE it!!
The Cooler Edit
A cooler pulls sweat off after work, keeps a wet horse comfortable on the way home and takes the chill off before you tack up.

Fleece
Equinavia Norse Fleece Coolers handle cooling out and warm-ups in one layer, and they are made from anti-pill fleece with a contoured fit around the hindquarters. Cross surcingles and a double buckle front hold the cooler in place, and riveted buckle holes help prevent fraying. Fleece at the withers cushions the spot where a cooler rubs first. Horseware takes the same idea to ponies: the Newmarket Pony Fleece Cooler is proportioned for ponies and cut from 500gsm anti-pilling fleece with a double front closure. Weatherbeeta's Elite Fleece Cooler uses a Sherpa fleece lining that draws moisture away from the coat, and it adds a plush Cozi-collar for extra cushioning at the neck. Equinavia lists the Norse for fall, winter and spring, the changing seasons. Reach for fleece after a light hack or a lesson in a cold arena. Look elsewhere if your horse sweats heavily after hard work. A fast-wicking waffle or Turbo-Dry fabric will get him dry quicker than thick fleece.

Waffle and mesh
Rambo Techni Waffle Coolers wick sweat fast because the 100% polyester waffle outer carries moisture management technology for rapid drying. Double front closures, removable cross surcingles and a tail strap keep it secure in the stable, on the trailer or at shows, and it is listed for all four seasons. Equinavia's Luftig Waffle takes a different route: it is 100% cotton, which has natural wicking properties to help the horse dry, and it carries extended fleece at the withers. Horseware's Ionic Therapy Mesh Cooler uses a scrim mesh outer for airflow over a ceramic-infused liner that the maker says reflects body heat back to the horse. Its double straight front closure and crossed surcingles hold it in place, and the maker positions it for year-round use before and after exercise. Riders tell us a cooler like this beads the sweat on top while the horse stays dry underneath. Look elsewhere if your horse gets cold standing still after work. A fleece or wool cooler holds warmth in better than open mesh.

Neck coolers
Centaur Turbo-Dry Cooler w/Neck gives a clipped, sweaty horse full coverage because the neck is attached to the body. The Turbo-Dry fabric wicks moisture three times faster, according to Centaur, and the stretch fabric is treated to virtually eliminate static. Heavy duty covered hook and loop front closures, dual low cross T-lock surcingles and D rings for optional leg straps keep the cooler where you put it. Equinavia's Norse Fleece Full Neck Cooler runs from poll to tail, with adjustable hook-and-loop neck closures and a quick-drying anti-pill fleece. Equinavia describes it as useful for keeping freshly bathed horses clean on show mornings and speeding drying after heavy winter work. Riders back up the Turbo-Dry claim: one writes that it cuts her horse's drying time in half, and another says it dries a horse in half an hour in a Wyoming winter. Add a neck piece whenever the horse is clipped or the barn is drafty. Look elsewhere if your horse dislikes anything around his throat. A standard-neck fleece or waffle cooler will suit him better.

Bamboo and wool
LeMieux Kudos Bamboo Cooler is built for show-day cooling because it combines a bamboo blend outer fabric with Simuwool wither protection and what LeMieux calls an anti-static, anti-bacterial shoulder lining. The maker designed it to cool the key muscle groups after exercise, and the angled T-lock chest closure and cross surcingle keep it on the move. Care is simple on this one: the label allows a 30 degree machine wash and says to air dry. Equinavia's Ulla Wool Cooler is a heavyweight dress sheet in 100% wool at 425g weight, with a padded fleece shawl collar, a single hidden surcingle and a contour body with darts over the hips. Centaur's Wool Dress Cooler is also 100% wool, finished with a brass closure, a hidden surcingle and a hip ornament. Wool suits cool-down periods, ringside waiting and the walk back to the barn. Look elsewhere if your horse sweats hard and you need quick drying. Waffle, mesh and Turbo-Dry coolers wick faster than wool or bamboo.

Sizing
Horseware Newmarket Fleece Coolers and every other cooler we carry size from one measurement: run a soft tape from the center of your horse's chest along his side to the point of his buttock. Each maker prints its own chart on the product page, so compare your number to that brand's table instead of a generic one. A cooler should cover the shoulder and loins. Riders between sizes tell us to go up, and Equinavia's care label says the same for its 100% cotton Luftig Waffle if you plan to machine wash it, because cotton shrinks. Ponies and cobs have their own proportions: Horseware's Newmarket Pony Fleece Cooler is cut for ponies, and wool coolers like Ovation's list pony, cob, horse, large horse and extra large horse length ranges. Use the size filters on this page to see only coolers cut for your horse. Look elsewhere if your horse is built unusually, such as very broad through the chest. A cooler with a neck and adjustable surcingles gives you the most room to fine-tune the fit.
Questions riders ask
A cooler is a breathable sheet that goes on a sweaty horse after work or a bath so moisture wicks out of his coat as he dries. Riders also use one to warm up muscles before a ride and to keep a horse covered on the trailer. Pick one built for the job you need.
Fleece is the all-rounder for cooling out and warm-ups. Waffle, mesh and Turbo-Dry fabrics wick fastest and suit heavy sweaters. Wool and bamboo coolers are the polished choice for the show grounds. Match the fabric to how hard your horse works and where you will use it.
Measure from the center of his chest along his side to the point of his buttock, then match that number to the maker's size chart on the product page. Between sizes, riders go up so the cooler covers his shoulder and loins. Check the chart before you order.
Read the care label first. Fleece is often machine washable: Horseware lists its Autumn Cooler as machine washable polar fleece, while LeMieux's Kudos Bamboo takes a 30 degree wash and air drying with no tumble dry. Cotton can shrink, so follow Equinavia's advice to buy up a size. Check each cooler's label before washing.
