Bucas Competition Cooler

Lightweight Competition & Travel Cooler for Warm Weather

The Bucas Competition Cooler is a smart, lightweight horse rug designed to keep your horse comfortable before, during and after competition. Combining Bucas' innovative Stay-dry lining with highly breathable fly mesh panels, it is the ideal cooler for travelling, waiting between classes and cooling down after exercise on warm days.

Designed with both performance and presentation in mind, the Competition Cooler offers a professional appearance suitable for any discipline while providing excellent moisture management and ventilation throughout the show season.

Stay Dry, Cool and Comfortable

The upper section of the rug features Bucas' renowned Stay-dry lining, which quickly wicks moisture away from your horse's coat, helping to keep them dry and comfortable after exercise or during travel. This advanced fabric works to reduce chilling while allowing excess moisture to evaporate naturally.

The lower section is constructed from lightweight fly mesh, encouraging continuous airflow around the horse to help prevent overheating in warmer conditions. This combination of moisture management and ventilation makes the Competition Cooler an excellent choice for spring, summer and early autumn competitions.
