Help keep your horse cool during the hottest summer months: The Equine Koozie cooling vest from Hobby Hill Farm uses three-layer Hydroweave technology to transfer heat away from your horse’s vital organs and allow his internal temperature to decrease. A center core containing both water-attracting and water-repelling fibers is sandwiched between a thermally conductive inner lining and a breathable outer shell to transfer heat and sweat to the vest’s outer layer, where it’s evaporated. Presoaked in water, the vest fits over your horse’s chest area and works for up to six hours between soaks. (Sponging or spraying the vest with water while on the trail will also keep it activated.) Available in four sizes, from mini to draft.

Cost: Varies with size; $99.95 for average horse size.
