A horse cooler is a blanket or sheet that is used to help a horse dry off after exercise or a bath. Coolers are typically made of a moisture-wicking fabric, such as wool or fleece, which helps to draw sweat away from the horse's skin and allow it to evaporate more quickly. This helps to prevent the horse from getting chilled, which can lead to illness.
