FAQs

What is the main purpose of this exercise sheet?

The Whitaker Allerton Multi-Functional Horse Exercise Sheet is primarily designed to keep your horse warm and protected during exercise, particularly in cooler or breezy conditions. It also aids in keeping muscles warm after exercise.

Is this sheet waterproof?

No, this sheet is made from breathable cotton and is not designed to be waterproof. It is best suited for exercise or light turnout in dry conditions.

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Refer to the specific size guide provided by Whitaker. As noted, brand sizes may vary, so it's important to measure your horse and compare it to the guide's recommendations.

Can this sheet be used for turnout?

Yes, it can be used for light turnout in mild, dry weather. However, its lightweight cotton construction means it's not ideal for heavy rain or very cold conditions where a heavier, waterproof rug would be more appropriate.

How often should the sheet be washed?

Wash as needed, typically when it becomes visibly dirty or if there are signs of sweat buildup. Regular washing ensures the fabric remains breathable and hygienic for your horse.

What does 'multi-functional' mean in this context?

It refers to the sheet's versatility, being suitable for various types of exercise (hacking, lunging) and also for light turnout, thanks to its secure fit and breathable material.

Troubleshooting

Sheet slips to one side

Ensure belly surcingles and chest straps are evenly and securely tightened. Check that the shoulder gussets are allowing for free movement and not causing imbalance.

Rubbing or chafing noted

Verify that the sheet is the correct size and that all straps are adjusted appropriately, not too tight. Ensure the cotton material is clean and free of debris.

Fillet string is difficult to attach

Ensure the string is clean and free of knots. For easier attachment, consider using a saddle pad with built-in fillet string loops if available.
