Our multifunctional sheet is now available in a new XL size.
Measuring approx. 180 x 140 cm, it is particularly suitable for large horses and also offers enough space for riders and horses when warming up.
If you need or would like to view the sheet in a smaller size, you can also find it here >

Thanks to their optimal weight and temperature-regulating properties, all our wool products are perfect for use all year round.

Transform the blanket by simply folding it and use it as:

  • A back warmer: the wool rug creates a pleasant “microclimate” so that the horse stays dry and warm. Great sweat function and breathability. (after work, while walking, while feeding)
  • A neck part: wool protects against drafts and warms naturally. When your horse is shorn, the neck part can be quite comfortable. Easy to attach with the included clips. Tip: once the rug is folded it is a compact neck piece, when not folded it warms and protects chest, shoulders and back at the same time.
  • A lungeing pad: Simply fold it twice lengthways to create the right size for your lungeing belt. After lunging, simply “unfold” the rug again and use it to warm the horse's back when cooling down. Perfect, right?
  • An under-rug: The blanket can also be sewn into a regular rug as a comfortable back warmer. Have you tried it yet?
  • As a warm-up blanket: The XL size (approx. 180x140cm) in particular offers great comfort for both rider and horse during warm-up sessions.

The comfortable wool rug can of course also provide you with warmth: when riding, in the lounge or while teaching and watching at the arena or in the hall.

  • High-quality boiled wool made from 100% wool, OEKO-TEX® certified
  • Our wool fabric is pre-washed before production. This means that our finished wool products are dimensionally stable and hardly shrink when washed. (See care instructions)
  • Beautiful wool look in attractive colors
  • Comfortable dimensions: 180 x 140 cm
  • Elegant, simple design with AIKO® emblem
  • Includes a clip for the various neck part functions
  • A strap can also be ordered.

Wool hardly slips and has good adhesion to fur and textiles and keeps you pleasantly warm. On the other hand, dirt can be easily shaken or brushed out (sawdust, straw, hay, dust...). It is antibacterial, moisture-repellent and a universal natural material that is particularly popular in sports due to its great properties.

Everything You Need to Know About the AIKO Multifunctional Sheet – Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Our Wool Sheet.

What makes the AIKO Multifunctional Sheet so special?

The AIKO Multifunctional Sheet is much more than a classic horse blanket. Thanks to its well-thought-out design and high-quality 100% virgin wool, it can be used for various purposes in just a few simple steps. Whether as a back warmer, neck cover, lunging pad, underblanket, or spacious warm-up blanket—a single product offers numerous possibilities for everyday stable life.

It is precisely this versatility that makes the sheet a practical companion for training, trail rides, competitions, and daily work with your horse. Instead of carrying several different products, a single sheet is often all you need, as it can be flexibly adapted to any situation.

The natural virgin wool helps create a comfortable microclimate, protects against wind and drafts, and helps ensure your horse stays comfortable even after work or during longer walking sessions. For AIKO, wool is therefore nature’s high-tech material—functional, sustainable, and versatile.

What are the benefits of wool as a natural material?

AIKO Multifunctional Sheets are made of high-quality 100% virgin wool. Wool is one of the most functional natural materials and, thanks to its unique properties, is even used today in high-performance sports.

It regulates temperature, is breathable, moisture-wicking, and antibacterial. This creates a comfortable body climate that supports your horse in various weather conditions. At the same time, excess moisture can be absorbed and released to the outside without the material immediately feeling damp.

Another advantage: Wool has natural elasticity and feels comfortable against the coat. At the same time, hay, straw, or sawdust usually stick only to the surface and can often be easily shaken off or brushed out. As a result, the sheet stays in good condition for a long time and needs to be washed less frequently than many synthetic materials.

How do I use the sheet as a back warmer?

The Multifunctional Sheet also serves as a practical back warmer for your horse. It protects your horse’s sensitive back and lumbar region from wind and drafts and helps maintain a comfortable microclimate—for example, after training, during walks, or during longer walking phases.

The temperature-regulating properties of 100% virgin wool help retain natural body heat while wicking away excess moisture. This makes the sheet ideal for cooling down or whenever your horse needs extra protection after work.

Many of our customers also use the back warmer during feeding, therapy sessions, visits to the farrier, or after washing the horse.

How does the neck section work?

The AIKO Multifunctional Sheet can be transformed into a practical neck cover in just a few simple steps. Using the included blanket clip, the sheet can be easily secured and reliably protects the sensitive neck area from wind and drafts.

Depending on the folding technique, there are various ways to use it. When folded once, it forms a compact neck cover. When unfolded, the sheet also covers the chest, shoulders, and part of the back. This extra protection can be especially comfortable for clipped horses or on cold days.

This allows the sheet to flexibly adapt to the prevailing weather conditions and your horse’s individual needs.

Can I also use the sheet as a lunging pad?

That’s exactly what the AIKO Multifunctional Sheet was designed for. By folding it in half lengthwise, you create the perfect size for use under a lunging girth.

After lunging, simply unfold the sheet again and it can be used immediately as a back warmer or cooling blanket. This saves space in the stable and reduces the number of different pieces of equipment you need.

This versatility makes the Multifunctional Sheet a practical companion for everyday use.

Can I use the sheet as an underblanket?

The wool sheet is ideal as an additional layer of warmth under many stable blankets. The 100% virgin wool helps maintain a comfortable body temperature and provides extra comfort on cold days.

Thanks to wool’s temperature-regulating properties, it creates a natural layer of warmth without trapping moisture under the blanket. Many horse owners use this option to naturally enhance the comfort of their existing blanket.

Is the sheet suitable as a warm-up blanket?

The XL size in particular, measuring approx. 180 × 140 cm, is ideal as a generously sized warm-up blanket. It not only protects your horse but also provides the rider with pleasant warmth.

Especially at competitions, during long waits, or when warming up on cold days, this large blanket provides extra comfort. Both horse and rider benefit equally from the natural properties of 100% virgin wool.

Can I use the multifunctional sheet myself?

That’s exactly what makes this product so special. Many of our customers use the sheet not only for their horses, but also for themselves.

Whether during lessons, in the lounge, while watching in the indoor arena, or during a competition—the 100% wool provides pleasant warmth and ensures a high level of comfort. Especially on cool days, this sheet becomes a versatile companion for both horse and rider.

Why do wool blankets tend to slip less?

Natural wool fibers have a slightly textured surface. As a result, a sheet made of pure wool often adheres better to the coat than many smooth synthetic materials. This can help the sheet lie more securely and slip less during use.

At the same time, the wool remains pleasantly flexible and adapts well to your horse’s movements. This increases comfort and makes daily use in the stable or at competitions easier.

How do I care for my AIKO Multifunctional Sheet?

The AIKO Multifunctional Sheet is made from high-quality 100% virgin wool. The fabric is carefully pre-washed before processing. As a result, the finished products remain particularly dimensionally stable and shrink only minimally when properly cared for. In everyday use, it’s often enough to simply shake out or brush off hay, straw, sawdust, or dust. Thanks to wool’s natural properties, many stains don’t need to be washed out immediately.

Please always follow the care instructions on the product when cleaning. With the right care, the Multifunctional Sheet will last for many years and retain its natural properties as well as its high-quality appearance.

Why is the wool pre-washed before processing?

For the AIKO Multifunctional Sheet, we use high-quality 100% virgin wool, which is carefully pre-washed and specially steamed before processing. This additional step is more labor-intensive but offers a decisive quality advantage.

Wool is a natural material and may change after the first wash. Pre-washing largely completes this natural process before the product is even manufactured. As a result, the finished products retain their shape and, with proper care, shrink only minimally.

Material Information
For you, this means greater peace of mind in everyday use. The sheet retains its fit and high-quality appearance even after many uses and washes. At the same time, the natural properties of wool—such as breathability, temperature regulation, and comfort—are preserved.

This additional manufacturing step is part of our commitment to quality. After all, we want to develop products that will serve you and your horse for many years to come.
Which size of the multifunctional sheet is right for you?

The AIKO multifunctional sheet is available in various sizes so you can tailor its use to your needs and your horse.

  • 140 × 120 cm is particularly suitable if you primarily want to use the sheet as a back warmer, neck cover, or lunging pad. Its compact size makes it easy to fold and versatile in use.
  • 160 × 140 cm offers even more flexibility and is an excellent choice if you want to use the sheet for medium-sized horses. This size combines comfortable coverage with easy handling.
  • 180 × 140 cm (XL) is the largest size and is particularly popular as a generously sized warm-up blanket. It offers enough space to keep both horse and rider comfortably warm at the same time. The XL size also provides the greatest comfort as a large pad or for versatile use around the stable and at shows.

Expert Tip
If you want to use the wool sheet as versatilely as possible, the XL size is often the first choice. If the sheet is to be used primarily as a back warmer or lunging pad, the smaller sizes are usually perfectly sufficient.

Wool rarely needs to be washed. The less often wool is washed, the longer it retains its natural properties. It is often sufficient to let the blankets air out overnight, to simply brush out coarse dirt or to clean it in places with a little wool detergent and then with clear water.

However, our blankets can also be washed with a gentle wool washing program and wool detergent (30°C and max. 400 rpm spin).

It is best to straighten it out a bit after washing and hang it on the drying rack to dry (do not hang it).
