I bought this for the concept of being able to put it on under his paddock rug after I had worked him at night in winter (without having to wait for him to dry like his sweat rug). With no leg straps or even a tail rope the rug requires significant customization to be fit for this purpose. I would like to see it have leg straps and ideally a stronger chest strap for it to fit the advertised purpose. It looks lovely and well made but is missing features that mean I can’t use it for its advertised (and therefore purchased) purpose which is disappointing.

This Horseware Dry Liner (50g Light) is every horse owner's dream rug! Drying sweaty horses quickly and efficiently saving you time and effort. Designed to eliminate the need to use a separate moisture-wicking rug after exercise, you attach this liner to your liner-compatible Horseware turnout or stable rug and it does the job of drying your horse while they enjoy their field time. No more waiting around for your horse to completely dry before dressing them for the field, giving them total comfort, and giving you peace of mind.
The breathable liner consists of a sophisticated triple-layered fabric construction which creates the perfect conditions for excellent moisture evaporation to help to dry your horse even when fully blanketed without creating a damp environment inside your turnout rug.
Layer 1: A moisture-wicking ultra-soft polar fleece supports your horses natural ability to wick moisture away from the skin while providing ultimate comfort.
Layer 2: 50g high loft fibrefill is layered in the middle to help drive moisture created by your horse's body heat further away from your horse, assisting in moisture evaporation and keeping your horse warm.
Layer 3: The top layer consists of a 3D airmesh for improved air circulation, giving increased airspace within its fabric construction, sustaining warmth and further aiding moisture evaporation, preventing your outer rug from becoming damp or your horse from feeling a chill.
With dual leg arches for freedom of movement and a simple and secure Velcro front closure along with clips at the back to secure and Velcro loops on the neckline, this liner is a must for your rug accessories!

Such a good product my mare is a Warmblood x in every sense she’s sweats up very easily I brought Horseware Dry liner and have not looked back

Great product will definitely get another one

Really lovely liner, sadly not at all suited to my narrow chested horse (despite my usual horsware liners being perfect?). I've used many other horseware liners (200g etc) and I've never had one move before (under vfront Rambo, Rhino and recently an unlined horseware plant dye turnout rug). This liner appears to me to have a different chest shape to the usual horseware liners I've purchased in the past (when I measured both together this came up bigger in the chest). The liner (fitted as I always do) pulled back and stretched quite a bit overnight causing it to sit down way too low on the chest, also stretching right back past the wither and also hanging out at the rear making it uncomfortable for my horse. I gave it another go in a different horseware rug just in case, but it did exactly the same thing. This liner is unfortunately unusable unless I can perhaps get some darts sewn in the neck or alternatively it will become an expensive quarter warming sheet at events while standing around. The liner itself is really lovely just wished the shape was the same as the other liners I have.

I love the dry liner. It has taken the anxiety away from me as it absorbs and warms my mare while under her other rugs after I have washed her in the afternoons in winter. I don’t have to worry about her getting a chill as the heat of her and the absorption of the dry liner keeps her top rugs dry. It is a game changer. Thank you 🙏

High quality, fits perfectl, looks very smart and does its job perfectly! Her sweat dries in 5 minutes which is perfect after long winter rides 😍
Katrina B. 5/5 Verified
I am seriously wondering how I survived sweaty horses in winter without this liner! The concept of this rug is just perfect, with the 3d mesh type construction rug allowing maximum breathability and keeping moisture off the skin, and the beautiful fleece like panel over the back for warmth and comfort. I love that the sides are mesh only, meaning as the horses dry they won’t overheat from a full under rug. I even clip it to my cotton back straps when not using a turnout rug and it does not move back in the paddock. I’ll definitely be buying a second one. Highly recommend 👌🏼

Riding in winter after work made easier now I can keep my boy snuggly. He looks so smart. Excellent quality, thick and soft. My boy is 14.2 and has a 5.6.

Popped this on after a late afternoon ride where a good hose down was needed. Left it on with a cotton and an unlined canvas rug on top and put into the paddock. The next day the rug was taken off and it was dry. Definitely a good fit for my boy.
Michelle A. 4/5 Verified
Absolutely love my Horseware Dry Liner. This rug has been a ‘game changer’ after late afternnoon rides; I can hose off my sweaty horse, put on his Dry Liner and night rug knowing he will comfortably dry without remaining damp overnight. I highly recommend this rug.

Beautiful, soft and waterproof 💕

7ft on a 17.1 WB Fits great. I work my horses late in the day and just pop this on under night rugs after hosing them off. Works so well and horses look great the next morning when I remove it. Would buy again!

Love this rug. For my clipped boy he is nice and cosy, drying quick after his shower so I can put him straight into his warmer rugs. Great product.

The dry liners have worked on my 3 horses beautifully, really wicking the moisture away from their bodies. I can also leave them in when it is just a little too hot for a padded rug, but too cold for just the mainsheet.. it stops them sweating really well. Only problem I have is with one of them who manages to twist the liner under the top rug... no idea how but he's likely to rip it soon as it ends up really tight across his chest. It's the same size as the outer, so not sure it's a size problem and the other 2 don't do it, so I think it's just him! Hence no bad review :)

My horses are so snuggley after their rides when it's after school and cold.

Brilliant extra layer. Perfect addition for winter rugging.
Tara K. 5/5 Verified
The Horseware Ireland dry liner has been a godsend in our very changeable weather. It has been very effective at wicking away moisture from my horses wet coat after he has been hosed. Being able to leave it on under his paddock rug is great. He can get a little warm in our fickle climate but overall it is doing the job for which is was intended.
Anna M. 4/5 Verified
Purchased the dry liner to use in endurance between legs and at ride completion. Love it! Keeping my horse warm while wet in really cold conditions was great, even the vets commented how good it was. Highly recommend for this purpose.

Good quality rug and dried my horse off after getting wet, before using another rug overnight. I didn’t realise it doesn’t come with the rump strap though!

Such a great product and super helpful knowledgeable staff
Jo S. 5/5 Verified
Brilliant cover love them pop them on after working my race horses and cover over the top and out in the paddock awesome thanks 👍😃
Lorraine M. 5/5 Verified
The Dry Liner is perfect for my wide shouldered mare. Light but warm and perfect as an under rug when she's still a little wet as it encourages drying.

A great rug and absolutely delivers what it is promoted to do!

Amazing for washing then drying off pony overnight! A game changer!!

I have 2 aged mares - 32 and 26 - the dry liners are FANTASTIC for wicking the damp away after they have been washed but not quiet dry.

Wonderful
Justine C. 4/5 Verified
Absolutely love this liner. My pony got drenched in the paddock so I popped it on with the cover and he was totally dry and comfy the next morning!

Works well. Probably only a winter item as it’s pretty warm.
Angela S. 5/5 Verified
This is the BEST rug I've ever bought - even though it's 'just a liner'. The horse is always dry and comfortable, which is super important for my sensitive skinned boy who breaks out in hives if he's too hot/too damp under his rugs.
