Product Description
Clever water-activated rug designed to aid gentle surface cooling, to be used in conjunction with other cooling methods such as rehydration, shade, targeted cold water hosing and walking to prevent overheating and dehydration. The rug can also be used in the stable and other situations where you'd use a cooler, for short periods for a longer lasting cooling effect.
Unique water-reactive crystals within the rug liner pockets swell and retain cold when soaked in water. The rug is not fully lined, to aid in evaporation and breathability. The lightweight breathable mesh shell fabric encourages airflow to aid in heat dissipation and evaporation.
Before first use, soak for 2 hours to activate the crystals. This rug can be re-activated multiple times by soaking in water for up to 1 hour. We recommend soaking in water at 15° or lower for optimum cooling effect.
Check the progress of your horse's cool down regularly during use. Remove the rug from the horse once the cooling crystals have reached ambient body temperature - the time this takes will vary according to the climate and horse's condition.
Not suitable for turnout. Never leave your horse unattended during use.
Product FAQs
How do I find the right LeMieux size?
LeMieux sizing can differ from other brands, so check the LeMieux size guides before you order. They cover rider clothing, horse wear and boots. If you're between sizes or still not sure, call us on 01823 481484 or ask in our Taunton store.
Where is LeMieux from?
LeMieux is a British brand, founded in Hampshire in 2006 by Lisa and Robert Lemieux.
Which LeMieux saddle pad should I choose?
Pick a pad that matches the shape of your saddle and the discipline you ride. Dressage pads are longer and straighter, jumping pads are shorter and cut more forward, and general purpose pads sit in between. If you're not sure, bring your saddle in and our team will help you find the right fit.
What's the difference between a saddle pad and a half pad?
A saddle pad goes under the whole saddle. A half pad sits on top of it, under the saddle panels, to add cushioning or fine-tune the fit. Half pads are no substitute for a saddle that fits properly.
Can I match LeMieux saddle pads with other kit?
Yes. LeMieux releases its pads in seasonal colours, and many of its fly hoods, boots, bandages and headcollars come in the same shades, so you can put together a matching set.
Does LeMieux make clothing for children?
Yes. There's a children's range of jodhpurs, base layers, coats, show jackets and show shirts, plus the LeMieux Pony Collection of toy ponies and accessories.
How do I find the right LeMieux size?
LeMieux sizing can differ from other brands, so check the LeMieux size guides before you order. They cover rider clothing, horse wear and boots. If you're between sizes or still not sure, call us on 01823 481484 or ask in our Taunton store.
How do I wash a LeMieux saddle pad?
Brush off loose hair, then machine wash at a low temperature with a non-biological detergent, and let it dry naturally. Always check the care label on the pad first.
