Living in the west, in the desert, is hard on horses in the summer time to haul and compete.. I’ve seen horse owners try all kinds of tricks to keep their horses cool. I know from experience of cooling towels … What they do for humans when outside and hot. So I thought wow that would really help keep my horses body temperature down and cool from the heat at events and at the trailer.
Over heating and heat exhaustion can be dangerous for an equine athlete. EquiCooldown, really helps to keep my horses safe and comfortable and cool while both hauling as well as before and after competing.

We love the Equicooldown blanket and use it daily in our program. Here in north central Florida summers are brutal. Although we slow down our training, our horses continue to work all summer. I have my blanket soaking in a tub of water, with a splash of liniment added. After a rinse, horses wear the blanket in their stalls as they cool down. It is such a nice way to get body temps down, protect muscles and let them relax. After 20-30 minutes under the blanket I put the blanket back in the tub for the next horse to use. I add the liniment when we are not showing and because I have it added to the bucket of water, I use much less and all the horses enjoy the benefits.

We have used the blanket during travel such as in quarantine overseas and on the trailer traveling to and from competition. We have even used to blanket during an emergency fever situation where we were able to rapidly reduce a fever of unknown origin. We continued the use of the blanket several times a day for a week to keep the horse comfortable and recovering.

At the end of use, we can toss it in the washing machine and have it ready for the next week. It is a wonderful piece of equipment!

The heat and humidity in Florida is brutal on our horses, especially with feel-like temps in the 100’s. We’ve used the Equi-Cool Down for the last several months on show horses, senior horses, and horses with anhidrosis. It provides instant cooling (literally cold feeling) by lowering body temp and literally drawing heat out of the body. You can actually feel it working. Just wet it, shake it and put it on your horse. When it gets warm, wet, shake, and it cools down again! It’s amazing when used with a fan, too!
This sheet is everything we were hoping it would be. The soft cloth blanket uses the BEST material that gets cool and stays cool. I think it’s a must-have in hot weather for any horse.

I was taking a lesson on my mare at my trainers and afterwards, my mare was pretty hot and blowy. My trainer had this EquiCool down blanket and told me to use it. WOW!!!! My mare yawned, sneezed, licked, chewed and eye rolled. She was SO happy! Her body temp and respirations came down so quickly!!
I decided to buy one for my 30 year old PPID/EMS/IR guy who has struggled in this Central Florida heat and humidity. I have clipped him and I hose him several times a day. I get the blanket on one of the worst days so far this summer, brought it home and immediately used it on Samee. Samee is a pretty stoic guy and you rarely see him lick and chew. But guess what!? After about 5 minutes with the EquiCool Down blanket on, he was licking and chewing and I could visibly see his respirations coming down!!
Now that I have an EquiCool Down blanket of our own, my horses will be living the “COOL” life!!

I was so thankful to have found equicool down products. I recently built a barn in Florida and we have yet to be able to run electricity to it. This summer has been extremely hot and I had so much anxiety about how to keep the horses cool. The Equicooldown products have been a game changer in helping both them and myself chill out. The ability to add epsom salts or other liniments to the hydrotherapy treatments has been a great way to aid in recovery as well as help them feel their very best!

Love the equicool down line of products! Having been an advanced 3-day event rider now FEI Grand Prix Dressage rider and trainer living in South Florida we ride and train in the heat all year long. My horses love hanging out in their equicool banket and wraps in front of the fan. Evwryone should have this one if products in their stable so easy to use!

I am SO happy with my blanket purchase. It has made such a difference with my horse. He has anhidrosis and respiratory issues during the summer here in South FL. I typically have to hose him down for 15-20 minutes straight to get his breathing back to a normal rate. When I use the blanket, I just have to give him a quick hose and can let the blanket do the rest. It is also great option for cooling him down and not soaking his hooves with water every few hours.

Great product from someone who really understands horses- check this out! Jen has been in the industry for years and has a good sense of what works.

“I LOVE THESE PRODUCTS!!!! The towels are great to put around your neck if you are riding, or just waiting for your next class. My horse LOVES the body wrap and I have trailered him in it with MUCH success. He suffers from Anhidrosis so keeping cool in the Florida heat is VERY important. I use the large adult towel to put over his neck after warm up but before we go into the ring. The customer service is also AMAZING! Which makes it so easy to love and support the business! Thanks!”

“Based out of Delaware Park, you need to keep your horses cool and responsive, especially in the hot and humid summers. The Equi Col Down sheet was was amazing in keeping our horses cooler. We also used the leg wraps and had really good results with these year round. The horses were comfortable in them and they kept their legs as cold as ice boots. I would recommend these Equi Cool Down products to anyone who wants to cool down a horse for any reason!”

We received the following heartwarming note and photo via email:

“When Logan, an older thoroughbred, collapsed during a trail ride in the hot Florida sun, Equi Cool Down was key in lowering his body temperature. As they waited for the veterinarian, a neighbor had the Equi Cool Down blanket on hand, and after just adding water, the blanket immediately began to cool Logan. Thanks to Equi Cool Down, Logan is now fully recovered and happily back on the trails!”

I used the equi cool down wrap on my horse for the first time today. I cant believe how effective it was! The difference was really noticeable when i unloaded him from the float at home after a hot humid mid-day trip – not even sweaty! Im so impressed, thank you (in advance) for making his summer so much more pleasant!

I very seldom jump on the bandwagon for products…..but this, you will love! Probably the best thing I have seen in years and yeI very seldom jump on the bandwagon for products…..but this, you will love!

The summer heat can take a lot out of your horse. Equi Cool Down products are an easy, affordable way to beat the heat. I love the body wrap and neck wrap for in the stall or even going down the road in the trailer. They are also great for non sweaters. The leg wraps pull heat out and are fast and easy to use.

The story of Taxi Boy is quite simple. Taxi Boy is a horse which has big problems with the heat and ever since he’s wearing the Equi Cool Down before and after the race he never collapsed again. So we are very happy for him to have this help.

I did use your blanket with great success on the Friesian I had here in training. He had some major issues with the heat and it did help him to cool down quicker.
