FAQs

Is this sheet suitable for turnout?

While it can be used for light turnout, it is specifically designed as an exercise rug to be used while the horse is being ridden.

Can I put this over my saddle?

Yes, the saddle cut is designed specifically to accommodate the saddle so the rider can maintain contact with the horse.

How do I choose the right size?

The size 145cm refers to the length of the rug measured from the chest to the tail; ensure you measure your horse accurately before purchase.

Does the mesh tear easily?

It is made of high-quality polyester designed for durability, but should be kept away from thorny bushes or sharp fencing.

What is the benefit of the brow band?

The brow band acts as an anchor point to keep the neck cover from sliding backward toward the withers during movement.

Troubleshooting

The neck piece keeps slipping down

Check that the brow band is properly secured and that the front fastenings are adjusted tightly enough to support the neck cover weight.

Sheet shifts during intense exercise

Ensure the fillet string is correctly tensioned and that the front clips are snapped securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable polyester construction
  • Specialized design encourages focus by reducing insect annoyance
  • Comprehensive coverage including neck and tail protection
  • Secure fastenings prevent slipping during exercise

Cons

  • Material may show dust and dirt quickly
  • Requires careful storage to prevent mesh snags
  • Hand wash or delicate machine cycle recommended to preserve structure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, align the sheet with the horse's wither and secure the front clips first. The brow band of the neck piece should be fitted before closing the front fastenings to prevent the neck cover from sliding back.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly shake out the mesh to remove debris.
  • Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using mild detergent.
  • Air dry the sheet away from direct heat sources to prevent material shrinkage.
  • Periodically inspect clips for tension and ensure the fillet string is intact.
