Leberna Fleece Cooler 5'9

Leberna's breathable fleece cooler offers a practical, lightweight layer for horses after work or during travel. The 300 gram double-sided non-pilling fleece encourages moisture wicking and quick drying, so a sweaty horse cools more comfortably according to the manufacturer. It works well as a stable sheet, travel rug or fleece layer across seasons, and suits a range of breeds from ponies to drafts.

Highlights

Soft yet functional, this cooler is designed with a contoured cut for improved coverage across the horse's topline and flanks. The T-front closure, two cross surcingles and a tail cord provide a secure, adjustable fit that keeps the rug in place while loading, stabling or standing at a show. It folds flat for tack trunk storage and comes in several colours including mint green shown here. Do note that while the fleece sheds moisture and dries quickly, very heavy rain will penetrate it, so use alongside waterproof turnout rugs when needed.

Usage tips

For best results apply the cooler straight after exercise once excess sweat has been patted away, this helps the fabric wick moisture without chilling the horse. Layer it over a damp cooler sheet if extra drying is required, or use it under a waterproof turnout when travelling in wet conditions. It’s a good fit if you need a breathable, easy-to-store stable rug that supports post-ride recovery and everyday barn use.

Care & maintenance

Machine wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or air dry to preserve the non-pilling finish. Avoid fabric softeners as they can reduce moisture-wicking performance. Regular washing keeps the fleece soft and prevents odour build-up.
