Product Information
Full details
The Shires Deluxe Stable Sheet is a premium, multi-purpose rug designed for horse owners who prioritize both stable-ready presentation and functional comfort. Crafted from breathable, hardwearing polycotton canvas, this sheet is an excellent choice for drying off a horse after a bath, cooling down after moderate exercise, or keeping clean while traveling; however, users should note that it is designed as a lightweight layer and does not provide thermal insulation for cold-weather turnout.

FAQs
Is this sheet waterproof?
No, this is a stable sheet designed for breathability and moisture management, not for turnout in the rain.
Can I use this for winter turnout?
This sheet provides minimal warmth and is not intended for cold-weather turnout. It is best used in a stable or under a heavier turnout rug.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the center of the tail to find the correct length in feet and inches.
Are the fittings rust-resistant?
The sheet features high-quality brass-colored fittings which are designed for durability, though they should be kept clean and dry to prolong their lifespan.
Can I put the sheet on a horse that is still soaking wet?
Yes, the moisture-wicking material is specifically designed to help horses dry off after baths or exercise.
Troubleshooting
Sheet sliding to one side
Check that the cross surcingles are adjusted evenly and ensure the tail strap is properly positioned.
Rubbing at the chest or shoulder
Loosen the chest clips slightly and check for any debris trapped in the SupaFleece lining.
Fleece trim becoming matted
Gently brush the SupaFleece with a soft-bristled brush once the sheet is completely dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly breathable for quick-drying performance
- Soft fleece lining at critical pressure points
- Easy-to-use adjustable chest clips
- Durable, long-lasting faux leather reinforcements
- Promotes a shiny coat through moisture management
Cons
- Not suitable for outdoor turnout in wet weather
- Does not provide significant warmth for winter months
- Requires regular washing to maintain breathability
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first attach the chest clips, adjusting the straps so the sheet lies flat against the chest without pulling tight. Fasten the cross surcingles to allow for a hand's width between the strap and the horse's belly. Ensure the tail strap is looped through the hind legs or over the tail to prevent the sheet from sliding.
Care Instructions:
- Shake off excess hair and dirt regularly.
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild, horse-safe detergent.
- Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as they can reduce the breathability of the technical fabric.
- Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the faux leather from cracking.
