It helps to transmit any moisture preventing your horse from overheating. The external casing is made of a high-tech artisan fabric with thermoformed quilting that provides great beauty and refinement.
It is equipped with a hinge for removable covers that are machine washable. The high-tech artisan fabric, due to its natural characteristic, is devoid of any artificial chemicals that could migrate to the animal.
