This Weatherbeeta Thermocell Quarter Sheet is designed for horse owners seeking to provide comfort and warmth during cooler weather. Its key benefit is its breathable, lightweight, and moisture-wicking fabric, keeping your horse comfortable without overheating. A minor caveat is its standard-neck design, which may not offer as much coverage as a high-neck option for very windy conditions.

A quarter sheet is designed to keep a horse's hindquarters warm and dry, particularly useful for preventing chills after exercise or during cooler weather turnout.
The Thermocell material is breathable and moisture-wicking, making it suitable for cool to mild weather turnout. For extreme cold, heavy rain, or high winds, a more robust rug with a higher neck coverage might be necessary.
Quarter sheets are typically sized based on the horse's rug size. Refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart or consult with the retailer for specific measurement guidance if unsure.
While possible, it is generally recommended to use quarter sheets as an outer layer for the hindquarters to allow for proper breathability and moisture management. Layering should be done carefully to avoid overheating or chafing.
Moisture-wicking fabric pulls sweat away from the horse's skin and disperses it on the outer surface, where it can evaporate more easily. This helps keep the horse dry and comfortable, reducing the risk of chills.
Wash as needed, typically when it becomes visibly dirty or loses its effectiveness. Over-washing can degrade fabric performance over time, so clean it based on its condition and use.
Ensure the touch fastening straps are securely tightened and positioned correctly to distribute pressure evenly. Check that the horse's coat is not excessively slippery from grooming products.
Remove the quarter sheet. While breathable, in very warm conditions, any additional layer may be too much. Consider if the ambient temperature has risen significantly.
Ensure the straps are clean and free from debris that might interfere with the touch fastening. If straps show signs of wear, contact the retailer for potential replacement parts or options.
Setup:
This quarter sheet is designed for simple application. Simply drape it over the horse's hindquarters, ensuring the standard neck portion sits comfortably. Secure the sheet using the integrated touch fastening straps, adjusting for a snug but not tight fit. Ensure the straps do not rub against the horse's skin.
Compatibility:
While designed as a standalone piece, it can be used in conjunction with other stable or turnout gear, provided it does not create excessive bulk or impede movement. It is compatible with most horse sizes that fit standard equine measurements.
