A cooler horse rug cools down a horse when it gets hot and sweaty.
if you have trained a horse and it is sweaty you would put a cooler on it, a thin fleece blanket
If you are trying to pass the sixth riding level on howrse, then i quite sure the answer is brush it with straw buy your horse an anti sweat rug or cooler :)
If a horse has worn a horse rug while being ridden, the rug should be lifted and removed and the horse should be brushed where the horse rug was worn. The rug should be place on something that would allow it to get good ventilation to air dry.
There is no precise way to fold a horse rug it just needs to be clean and dry.
you would put a rug on a horse during cold, windy or wet weather or when the horse is sweaty/wet or being bothered by flies. you would put a stable rug on a stabled horse when it's cold, sweat rug on a wet/sweaty horse, a new zealand rug on a horse turned out at grass when it's wet/windy/cold and a summer/fly sheet on a horse being bothered by flies.
Horse rugs function the same way for horses that clothes function for humans. Because horses are warm blooded, they are affected by the climate. If it is too cold for the horse, a horse blanket will be put on the horse to keep it comfortable and to prevent it from getting sick.
You should brush him, towel him off as best you can, and you can even use a hair dryer to help get him dry. then if still neccessary, use a sweat sheet and/or a wool cooler to help dry him and walk him until he is dry. NEVER turn out a horse that is still sweaty- even if he has a cooler on. You need to get his fur dry enough to stand on end so that he can make a thermal blanket to keep himself warm. when a horse is sweaty you do not put a rug on it you need a brush so you can flick the sweat off
The word rug usually means turnout rug which is a waterproof, durable blanket for the horse to wear outside in bad weather. Depending on what region you live in fall through early spring is rug season.
You usually put a fleece rug on a horse when you put them outside in the winter. Most horses wont need a winter rug because they grow a thick coat but if it's REALLY cold or your horse is clipped then you will need one.
Please try and tell me what type of horse! Anyway, Thoroughbreds need a rug all year round, a smaller rug in spring and summer, middle rug in Autumn and a large rug, maybe with a duvet in Winter. It all depends on the waether and temperature. Whether the horse is thin, fat, expecting a foal or not...
All seasons, you can get different types of rugs. autumn and winter are the most crucial to have a horse rug to keep them warm/dry. IDIOT.
