Why Do I Need A Cooler Rug?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Wool regulates temperature, retains heat, is breathable, dirt-repellent and increases well-being. It is easy to clean and maintain. Due to its protein structure, it also absorbs odors and has an antibacterial effect.<\/p>\n Wool is extremely breathable, i.e. it absorbs water vapor from the body and releases it to the fabric surface. Wool fibers can absorb more than 30% of their own weight in moisture without feeling wet. This makes wool as a Cooler Rug<\/a> extremely absorbent.<\/p>\n Wool is thermoregulating, this means the horse does not get too warm or too cold when it is worn, and it does not stimulate additional sweating. Wool can keep you warm even when wet.<\/p>\n Horses sweat off faster with a Wool Rug<\/a> . This is mainly due to the fact that a woolen blanket does not stimulate the horse to sweat again. This means that the blanket has to absorb less sweat and it dries faster.<\/p>\n Wool nestles even closer to the horse's body and therefore has an even better fit, which in turn accelerates sweating even further. A sweat rug made of wool dries as quickly as a fleece rug.<\/p>\n A horse blanket made of wool rarely needs to be washed<\/a> It is happy if it is aired regularly and if you ensure that it is dried properly. If you want to wash it, you can put it in the washing machine at 30 degrees on the wool cycle. However, hand washing is even safer. We recommend this once a season.<\/p>\n The difference between the blankets lies in the origin of the fabric. The WOOL is made from conventional new wool. The BAVARIA cooler rug is made from 100% mountain wool from happy sheep in the Bavarian and Austrian Alps. Shorn, woven and designed in Bavaria. Taking into account sustainability, animal welfare, social fairness and regionality sustainability,<\/a> animal welfare, social fairness and regionality.<\/p>\n The BAVARIA fabric is more voluminous, softer and fluffy.
