  • How to Use the Quick Chill Rug

    Simply submerge the cooling rug in a bucket of water until it is fully saturated, before wringing it out.

    If you have limited access to water, you can activate the rug as above where you have running water (i.e. at home or the stables), before placing it into a plastic bag and taking it with you to where it is needed. The rug will stay activated in this environment for the rest of the day.

    Alternatively, sprinkle water from a hose or bottle of water onto the rug, wring out the excess water and then put on your horse.

    The rug can then either be reactivated in water to be used again straight away or left to dry out.

    Care should be taken in humid climates and the rug should be checked more often, as humidity can affect the process of evaporation in general, from the rug or even on an un-rugged horse.

  • The Specialised Material within the Quick Chill

    The rug is made from a high tech, breathable open cell structure material, which is designed to effectively absorb and store water. This material has been chosen for its ability to retain water, but also to allow the water molecules to move through the fabric easily.

    The rug should be fully submerged in a bucket of water, or thoroughly soaked. Once removed from the bucket, wring out the excess water and place onto the horse. The water stored within the fabric is essential for the cooling process, but due to it being held within the fabric, it will stop your horse from getting soaking wet when used for up to 10 minutes.

  • How the Quick Chill Works

    Your horse will be warmer than the rug, and so the thermal energy will move via conduction from the hottest place (the horse) to the cooler place (the rug) to equalise temperatures. The water from the rug also evaporates into the atmosphere to further aid cooling, similar to what happens when your horse sweats to naturally attempt to cool themselves down.

    The cooling area of the rug is contoured and shaped so that it covers the large muscle groups across the back and hindquarters with direct contact, and the remainder of the rug is mesh to allow it to remain lightweight for use in the summer, but also to remain well-ventilated to facilitate breathability and evaporation to further aid the cooling process.

FAQ's

Absolutely! If you wish to cool down your horse and getting their coat wet isn’t an issue, you can place the Quick Chill rug on a wet horse.

The Quick Chill rug can be used as many times a day as needed, but please make sure the horse is not cooled down too much in cold or windy weather.

The Quick Chill rug is perfect for cooling the horse down during a stop at a service station, periodically in stand still traffic and after travelling. We do not recommend leaving this rug on the horse for several hours at a time without reactivating the cooling.

Yes, the rug can be washed with a 30-degree programme. Please do not tumble dry or use any direct heat source to dry the rug.

The Quick Chill rug comes in a rug bag made from a mesh fabric, which allows the rug to dry inside the bag. To store the rug please fold the rug into the bag while the rug is still slightly soft. Hang the bag out to dry with the rug inside and only pack away once the rug is completely stiff and dry inside the bag.

The active rapid cooling effect lasts until the outside surface of the rug feels warm to the touch. The time it takes for the rug and the skin temperature of the horse to equalise varies according to the atmospheric temperature and humidity. Once the rug feels warm, reactivate the cooling effect by wetting the rug as many times as needed. On a typical warm day in the UK the cooling effect lasts a minimum of 10 minutes.
