Eskadron sweat rugs: functional eye-catchers
A cooler has one job: to dry the wet coat after riding without the horse getting cold. With a winter coat, drying takes much longer, which is why October to March is the main season. Eskadron coolers come in four materials that perform differently in everyday use:
- Anti-pilling fleece is the classic: light, breathable, absorbs moisture and wicks it to the outside. The anti-pilling finish prevents bobbles, so the rug stays smooth even after many washes. The first choice for everyday use after training.
- Jersey with a brushed fleece inside (Jersey Sparkle, Aerial Jersey, Jersey Show): smooth and shimmering on the outside, soft on the inside. Straw and dirt cling less to the smooth outer side, and it looks more elegant at the show ground. Slightly warmer than pure fleece.
- Softshell (Softshell Air): robust, wind-resistant, stretchy. For horses that stay outside after riding or are led out in the wind.
- Waffle Cotton: cotton waffle piqué with air circulation through the honeycomb structure. The lightest option for the transitional season and summer.
For travelling and the stable, there are also the Cotton Rug and Dura Summer travel rugs, which are a little sturdier and come with a tail guard. The Platinum Fleece Rug is intended as a light liner under a stable or turnout rug.

Eskadron size chart for sweat rugs
Not sure whether it should be S, M, L, XL or maybe even XXL? Use this practical size chart to determine the right size sweat rug for your horse.
| Size | P | S | M | L | XL | XXL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Back length (cm) | 115 | 125 | 135 | 145 | 155 | 165 |
| Body length (cm) | 165 | 175 | 185 | 195 | 205 | 215 |
| Side length (cm) | 75 | 85 | 95 | 100 | 100 | 105 |
Measure the back length from the withers to the dock. Up to about 145 cm the 145 fits; above that the 155. A warmblood of 165 to 170 cm height usually takes 145; large-framed horses from 175 cm rather 155. If in doubt choose the smaller size, because the rugs are cut rather generously at the neck.
The coolers themselves are without a neck. Alongside them there is the Dynamic zip neck cover in anti-pilling fleece, which zips onto the fleece cooler and is fixed with Velcro. Alternatively a loose fleece neck cover with Velcro fastening fits every cooler.
Fleece dries quickly, is light and cheaper, but straw sticks to it. Jersey is smooth outside, brushed inside, looks more elegant at shows and warms a little more. For everyday after training we recommend fleece with anti-pilling; for shows and for clipped horses, jersey.
At 30 °C on a gentle cycle, Velcro closed, without fabric softener. Do not tumble-dry, do not iron, especially with Glossy bindings, lurex cords and Sparkle surfaces. Leave to air-dry.
The checked models are called Fleece Check and belong to the respective collection: Classic Sports, Platinum, Dynamic and Heritage each bring out their own collection check every year. At around €50 to €70 they are also the cheapest collection rugs.
The cooler goes on the wet coat after riding and is taken off as soon as the horse is dry. An exercise sheet warms the loin area while riding or warming up. The stable rug replaces the winter coat round the clock for clipped horses. For an unclipped horse the cooler is usually enough in winter.
