The WeatherBeeta Essential Fleece Lined Quarter Sheet is designed for equestrians seeking to keep their horses warm, dry, and comfortable during exercise or unpredictable weather.

The WeatherBeeta Essential Fleece Lined Quarter Sheet is designed to keep your horse's hindquarters warm and dry during exercise, warming up, or in unpredictable weather conditions. It provides a balance of warmth and breathability.
1200 denier refers to the thickness and strength of the yarn used in the fabric. Ripstop is a weaving technique that makes the fabric resistant to tearing; if a small tear does occur, the ripstop weave prevents it from spreading.
Refer to the sizing guide provided by WeatherBeeta for quarter sheets. Generally, sizing is based on the horse's blanket size or length. Ensure a good fit that covers adequately without being restrictive.
This sheet is suitable for short periods of turnout in appropriate weather. Its primary design is for exercise and riding. For extended turnout in harsh conditions, a full turnout blanket might be more appropriate.
The fleece lining provides warmth, making this sheet best suited for cooler temperatures (autumn, winter, spring) or during exercise. It would likely be too warm for use in summer weather.
It is generally machine washable on a cold cycle with mild detergent. Always check the specific care label on the product for detailed instructions. Air drying is recommended.
The sheet is waterproof tested at a hydrostatic pressure of 2,000 mm+ and breathable tested at a moisture vapor transmission rate of 3,000 g/m2+.
Ensure the touch tape straps are securely fastened to the girth straps and stirrup leathers. Check that the tail cord is properly positioned under the tail and is taut enough to prevent movement.
This sheet is designed for warmth during cooler weather or exercise. For milder conditions, consider using it for shorter durations or opting for a lighter weight option. Ensure the horse is properly cooled down after exercise.
The PFC-free Guard-Tec coating may require re-application after prolonged use or washing. Follow manufacturer guidelines for re-waterproofing treatments suitable for equestrian fabrics.
Clean the touch tape by brushing away any debris (dirt, hair). You can also try gently rubbing the hook side with a stiff brush to refresh its grip. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can reduce the effectiveness of Velcro.
Setup: To attach the WeatherBeeta Essential Fleece Lined Quarter Sheet, unroll it and drape it over the horse's hindquarters. Secure the touch tape (Velcro) straps around the girth straps or stirrup leathers. Ensure the tail cord is passed under the tail and secured to prevent slipping. Adjust for a snug but comfortable fit.
Compatibility: This quarter sheet is designed to be compatible with most standard saddles and girths. It is intended for use on horses during riding or short periods of turnout in suitable weather conditions.
Care: Clean the sheet according to the care label. Typically, it can be machine washed on a cold cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Air dry the sheet thoroughly; do not tumble dry or expose to direct high heat. Ensure the touch tape straps are fastened when washing to prevent snagging.
