Product Information

Full details

The Shires Deluxe Stable Sheet is an essential piece of equipment for horse owners seeking a versatile, moisture-wicking solution for post-exercise cooling, bathing, or travel. Designed for durability and comfort, this sheet features a high-quality polycotton canvas construction that helps polish the coat while providing a breathable layer. While it is perfect for stable and travel use, it is important to note that it is not intended for turnout in wet or inclement weather conditions due to its absorbent material properties.

FAQs

Can my horse wear this sheet outside?

No, this sheet is made of polycotton canvas and is not waterproof, making it unsuitable for wet outdoor conditions.

How should I clean the SupaFleece trim?

You can gently clean the trim with a soft brush to remove dust. If washing the rug, follow the care label instructions to ensure the fleece remains soft.

Is this sheet suitable for all seasons?

It is best used for temperate weather, post-exercise cooling, or as an extra layer in the stable; it is not designed to provide significant thermal warmth in deep winter.

What is the best way to measure my horse for this sheet?

Measure from the center of the horse's chest to the edge of the tail where the rug should finish.

Are the chest straps replaceable?

The straps are designed for durability, but if they become damaged, they should be professionally repaired or the rug replaced to ensure safety.

Troubleshooting

The rug keeps slipping to one side.

Check that the cross surcingles are adjusted evenly and are not too loose.

Rubbing marks appearing at the shoulders.

Ensure the chest straps are adjusted to provide enough room for shoulder movement and check if the rug size is appropriate for the horse's build.

Hardware becoming stiff.

Clean the brass-coloured fittings with a damp cloth and ensure they are dried thoroughly; apply a light lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for quick drying.
  • Soft SupaFleece trim minimizes rubbing at the neck.
  • Durable construction with reinforced attachment points.
  • Adjustable straps allow for a secure and comfortable fit.
  • Enhances coat shine during regular use.

Cons

  • Not waterproof; unsuitable for outdoor turnout in rain.
  • Requires regular washing to maintain hygiene and fabric performance.
  • The brass-coloured hardware may require occasional polishing to prevent tarnish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the sheet, place it gently over the horse's back, aligning the SupaFleece trim with the wither area. Secure the chest clips first, then fasten the cross surcingles and finally the tail strap. Compatibility is universal across most horses, though proper measurement from the center of the chest to the tail is advised to ensure the correct size is chosen. For care, it is recommended to brush off excess hair and dirt regularly. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent when the sheet becomes heavily soiled, and always air dry in a well-ventilated area to maintain the integrity of the fabric and hardware.
