The Bucas Therapy Cooler is a versatile, multi‑purpose rug designed for travel, cooling down after exercise, and everyday stable use. It combines Recuptex therapeutic fabric along the back with a Stay‑dry fleece lower panel, allowing it to be used on a sweaty or wet horse while wicking moisture away and delivering the soothing benefits of Bucas therapy technology.
The Recuptex material uses an extremely fine stainless‑steel mesh to reflect the horse’s natural magnetic field back into the body. This helps stimulate blood circulation and oxygen flow, reduces swelling and inflammation, and supports faster healing. The Stay‑dry lining draws moisture away from the skin, helping the horse dry more quickly after exercise or washing. Both the therapeutic and Stay‑dry properties are wash‑resistant, so the Therapy Cooler can be machine‑washed like a standard cooler without losing effectiveness.
The rug supports circulation along the back, helps reduce stiffness and inflammation, and is particularly beneficial for horses with back problems, arthritis, or age‑related conditions. It is also ideal for horses that take longer to warm up before exercise. Attachment points at the neck and rear D‑rings allow it to be used underneath Bucas turnout or stable rugs, extending its versatility. The therapeutic and moisture‑wicking properties remain effective wash after wash.
The Therapy Cooler includes Recuptex material along the back and a Stay‑dry fleece lower to wick moisture efficiently. It features a T‑bar front with a magnetic Snap‑lock closure, eliminating the need for hook‑and‑loop fasteners. Shoulder darts provide a tailored fit across the chest and shoulders, while the silk‑feel lining prevents rubbing. Cross surcingles, a fillet string to keep the rug in place, and a loop for the Bucas Tail Protector Reconditioner complete the design. It is also compatible for use under Bucas turnout or stable rugs.
The rug is machine washable at 30°C. For best results, Bucas Wash & Care Guidelines should be followed, using only Bucas Rug Wash and Bucas Rug Reconditioner. The lining consists of a Therapy fabric upper and a Stay‑dry fleece lower.
