As part of our innovative blanket combination system “Hook&Hold,” this fleece liner is the perfect addition to our rain, stable, and winter blankets. It provides targeted warmth to the sensitive back and kidney area, supports moisture management, and ensures all-around comfort. Made from high-quality, double-sided anti-pilling fleece, the material retains its shape over time, is breathable, hygienic, and easy to care for.

• Hook&Hold – flexible combinations, secure fixation: Our smart solution helps you quickly and securely connect SUNRIDE outer blankets and under blankets. Featuring a loop and Velcro closure in the front and a practical clip system in the back, everything stays in place – even during movement. This system is a flexible companion, especially in rapidly changing weather. You can combine a maximum of two underrugs with one overblanket.

• Extension for rain and winter blankets – for extra warmth: Our fleece underrug is the perfect extension for our rain and winter blankets. Inserted in just a few simple steps, it adds an extra soft layer of warmth, absorbs moisture, and stays securely in place. This way, the fleece liner makes the rain sheet warmer and more comfortable on cool days, while in the winter blanket it provides extra comfort – offering additional warmth, absorbing moisture, and remaining lightweight and practical.

• Warms the back and kidney area – protects the sensitive core of the body: The sensitive back and kidney area requires special protection – this is exactly where the fleece underblanket comes in. It stores soothing warmth where horses are most prone to tension, creating a comfortable, even environment under the blanket. In this way, the horse stays relaxed and well protected, even in cold or wet weather.

• With sweat-wicking function – reliably transports moisture to the outside: Thanks to its sweat-wicking function, the fleece liner reliably transports moisture to the outside. This keeps the horse comfortably dry after training or in changeable weather, without getting chilled. The combination of warmth and quick moisture absorption makes the blanket especially practical for everyday use.

• Double-sided anti-pilling fleece – durable in both shape and function: The material is finished on both sides to ensure it remains smooth and high-quality even under heavy use. Even after frequent washing or intensive wear, it impresses with a well-kept appearance, shape retention, and comfortable feel – inside and out. This way, the Fleece underrug remains a reliable companion in the long run.

• Breathable – for a pleasantly lightweight feel: Fleece stands out with its breathable structure: moisture can escape while the fabric gently conforms to the body, ensuring a consistent wearing comfort. This way, the horse stays protected even during extended use, without heat buildup.

• Quick-drying – ready for use again in no time: Fleece is characterized by its easy-care structure: after washing or everyday exposure to moisture, the material is quickly ready for use again. This saves long waiting times, makes handling especially simple, and ensures the under blanket can be used again without delay.

• Machine washable – easy-care for everyday use: The fleece layering rug is easy to care for and can be quickly cleaned at 30°C without losing its shape. This keeps it hygienic and fresh at all times – for optimal protection and comfort.

Did you know that… fleece doesn’t generate its warming effect through weight, but through tiny trapped air chambers? These small hollow spaces act as natural insulators – storing warmth exactly where your horse needs it while at the same time allowing moisture to escape. This creates thermal performance without filling – lightweight, effective, and long-lasting.

As part of our innovative Hook&Hold system, the lightweight fleece underrug is more than just a simple add-on – it transforms your SUNRIDE blankets into a flexible combination system. In just a few easy steps, the fleece liner securely attaches to our rain sheets, stable rugs, or winter blankets and stays reliably in place thanks to a combination of a front Velcro loop and a rear clip system. Nothing slips or twists, even during movement or longer wear. On chilly autumn days, the rain blanket becomes noticeably warmer and more comfortable with the fleece blanket, while in the winter blanket it provides additional comfort and perfectly supports the existing insulation. The fleece liner’s effect is targeted at the sensitive back and kidney area – where horses are most prone to tension. It focuses its warming function exactly where it’s needed, creating an even, soothing feel under the blanket. Thanks to its special sweat-wicking function, moisture is reliably transported outward. This is especially practical when the horse is still slightly damp. The underrug absorbs residual moisture, releases it, and prevents your horse from getting chilled. In this way, the horse remains relaxed, dry, and well protected – even during transitional seasons or in changeable weather. The blanket is made from high-quality, double-sided anti-pilling fleece. This means that no matter how often you use or wash it, the material remains smooth, keeps its shape, and feels pleasant to the touch. No pilling, no wear after a short time – just lasting quality you’ll notice every time you use it. The fleece delivers exactly the comfort your horse needs, without making the blanket heavy or cumbersome. At the same time, the warmth of the outer blanket remains flexible, since you decide how many layers to combine. Another highlight is the fleece’s breathable structure. Unlike closed materials, excess warmth can escape, while the fabric still rests softly against the body and ensures a consistent wearing comfort. Your horse is protected without heat buildup and remains balanced and comfortable, even during longer use. In addition to all these functional advantages, the fleece liner also shines in everyday handling thanks to its easy care. Fleece naturally dries quickly, so after washing or damp use, the fleece underrug is soon ready again. Long waiting times are eliminated – practical if the blanket is used regularly. Moreover, the liner is machine washable at 30 °C and remains shape-retaining and hygienic even after many washes. This saves time and effort, while ensuring your horse always benefits from a clean, fresh, and functional product. The fleece underrug is the ideal addition for anyone who wants to use their SUNRIDE blankets flexibly and adapt them to their horse’s needs. It combines targeted warmth, reliable sweat-wicking, breathable properties, and long-lasting quality in a well-thought-out system that delivers comfort and practicality at the highest level – day after day, season after season.

FAQ about the Fleece Liner:

Innovations

• What sets "Hook&Hold" apart from other systems?
  At SUNRIDE, you don’t need to spend time figuring out which blankets are compatible with our system, because all our top blankets – whether winter rugs, rain sheets, or stable blankets – come equipped with "Hook&Hold." This means you can easily attach one or even two underrugs at any time without any hassle. You can find all the details above under the "Hook&Hold" section.

• Is the "Hook&Hold" system compatible with blankets from other manufacturers?
  Our innovative combination technology has been specifically designed for our own top and underrugs and is therefore not compatible with blankets from other manufacturers. This is the only way we can ensure that all components fit together perfectly and function reliably – for maximum comfort and safety for your horse.

Functions

• Why choose a fleece liner instead of a blanket with integrated fleece?
  One key advantage lies in flexibility: with the liner, you don’t need to buy a separate blanket with built-in fleece. Instead, you can simply upgrade your existing SUNRIDE rain sheet, stable rug, or winter blanket. This brings two major benefits – first, you can remove the liner at any time, which is especially practical and helpful in rapidly changing weather. Second, you can wash it separately, keeping it hygienically clean. With blankets that have permanently sewn-in fleece, this isn’t possible, since the entire blanket would have to go into the washing machine – a much more cumbersome process that also harms the waterproof coating.

• Can I use the fleece liner without a blanket?
  No, the fleece rug is designed to be combined with a rain sheet, stable rug, or winter blanket and is secured with the simple Hook&Hold fastening system. This way, it stays in place, doesn’t slip, and delivers its full functionality.

• Can I also use the liner when my horse is slightly damp?
  Yes, as long as your horse is only slightly damp, the fleece liner is a good choice. It allows moisture to escape while keeping the back comfortably warm. This way, you don’t have to wait until your horse is completely dry before putting on the top blanket.

• Can the liner also serve as a replacement for a full sweat sheet?
  It’s not intended as a full replacement, but rather as a smart addition. The fleece underrug supports the cooling-off process in combination with a top blanket, making the system more versatile. While it can’t fully replace a dedicated sweat sheet, it does noticeably shorten the time until the coat is dry.
