How the Quick Chill Rug works: Designed with your horses’ wellbeing in mind, the Quick Chill rug offers a refreshing cooling effect without the need for classic soaking. Here’s a breakdown of how the Quick Chill rug works: - Specialised Material The rug is crafted from a high tech, air-permeable open cell structure material, which is made 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 useful for the cooling process, but due to it being held within the fabric, it will stop your horse from getting soaking wet. - Heat transfer, evaporative cooling and breathability. 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 cooling rug place (the rug) to equalise temperatures. The water from the rug also evaporates into the atmosphere to further assist cooling, similar to what happens when your horse sweats to naturally attempt to cool themselves down. The cooling area of the rug is shaped 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 ventilated mesh to allow it to remain light in weight for use in the summer, but also to remain well-ventilated to facilitate breathability and evaporation to further assist the cooling process. - Reusability This process supports regulate the horses body temperature while providing a cooling sensation without soaking the horse. The rug can be reactivated as many times as it is needed by re-soaking it in water, making it an environmentally friendly solution to help keep horses cool in warm conditions. How to use the Quick Chill Cooling Rug: Simply submerge the cooling rug in a bucket of water until it is fully saturated, before wringing it out as an reliable way to cool your horse down without soaking them. With practical design details, 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. With practical design details, alternatively, sprinkle water from a hose or bottle of water onto the rug, wring out the excess water and then put on your horse. Equilibrium recommend monitoring the temperature of the outside of the rug by feel to help provide it is removed when it feels warm. It can then either be reactivated in water to be used again straight away or left to dry out. With practical design details, 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.
