FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

No, the Shires Tempest Original Stable Sheet is designed for indoor and stable use and is not waterproof.

Can I use this for turnout in the field?

This product is designed for stable use; it does not offer the durability or waterproof protection required for field turnout.

How do I clean my stable sheet?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not tumble dry.

What is the primary material?

It is crafted from breathable, woven polyester.

Will this sheet help my horse's coat?

Yes, the smooth nature of the fabric helps to lay the hair flat, assisting in maintaining a polished, shiny coat.

Troubleshooting

The sheet keeps sliding to one side

Ensure the cross surcingles are adjusted evenly and snugly, and check that the fillet string is properly attached.

Chest straps are rubbing the horse

Adjust the buckles to ensure a balanced fit across the chest; ensure there is no debris trapped under the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities
  • Resists shavings and stable debris
  • Lightweight and easy to handle
  • Provides a polished, shiny coat
  • Versatile for travel or layering

Cons

  • Not waterproof for outdoor use
  • Lightweight fabric may tear if snagged on sharp objects
  • Not intended for extreme cold weather on its own

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, drape the sheet over the horse's back and align the chest straps. Fasten the double chest buckles securely, ensuring they are not too tight to allow for comfortable neck movement. Adjust the cross surcingles so they hang roughly four inches below the horse's belly. For care, it is recommended to wash the sheet in a machine on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent. Ensure all buckles are fastened or protected during the wash cycle. Air dry the sheet naturally away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the polyester fibers.
