Stop Post-Workout Chills Without Overheating Your Horse

The Professional's Choice Softshell Cooler Sheet solves the problem every rider faces after a hard ride: how to keep your horse warm enough to dry safely without trapping heat and sweat against the coat. This isn't your standard fleece cooler — it's a technical hybrid built for the gap between a lightweight sheet and a stable blanket. The windproof outer shell blocks drafts in the trailer or barn aisle, while the moisture-wicking fleece lining pulls dampness away from the skin so your horse dries quickly and comfortably.

If you've ever dealt with a clipped horse shivering in cross-ties or a hot horse getting clammy during transport, you know the drill. This sheet stays in place with an athletic, contoured fit that maximizes contact across the back and loin — the areas that need warmth most. Light enough for grooming, tough enough for trailering, and sharp enough for the showgrounds. From our barn to yours, this is the cooler you'll reach for every time the temperature drops.

Why Riders Choose the Softshell Cooler

• Windproof protection for drafty trailers and barn aisles — High-denier outer shell blocks biting winds and light mist, making it far more versatile than fleece alone for outdoor or transport use.
• Moisture-wicking lining prevents post-ride chills — Soft brushed fleece pulls sweat away from the coat so your horse dries quickly without getting cold, even in confined spaces.
• Contoured fit stays secure during grooming and travel — Tailored profile hugs the topline and shoulder, maximizing thermal contact without shifting or bunching under surcingles.
• Breathable fabric regulates core temperature — Advanced construction allows excess heat to escape from the barrel while maintaining critical warmth across large muscle groups.
• Show-ready durability resists shavings and debris — Built for the long haul with professional-grade materials that keep your horse polished from the trailer to the winner's circle.

Best For

Active competitors and trail riders with clipped or body-clipped horses looking for a versatile, weather-resistant layer that prevents chills during grooming, transport, or between classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I measure my horse for the correct size?

Measure from the center of the chest, across the widest part of the shoulder, to the center of the tail. If your horse falls between sizes, round up for a standard fit. The Professional's Choice Softshell Cooler Sheet is designed with a contoured cut, so proper sizing ensures the best thermal contact across the back and loin.

Q: Can I use this sheet for trailering in cold weather?

Yes — this is a favorite for transport because the windproof outer shell protects against drafts while the moisture-wicking lining prevents your horse from getting clammy in a confined trailer. It's especially valuable for clipped horses or horses coming off hard work who need to stay warm without overheating.

Q: Will this sheet work for a horse that's just been body clipped?

Absolutely. The Softshell Cooler Sheet is essential for clipped horses, providing necessary warmth during grooming or while waiting ringside. The breathable design prevents overheating, while the fleece lining keeps freshly clipped skin comfortable as the coat adjusts.
