Sizing Blankets & Sheets
Using a soft measuring tape, measure from A (the center point of the chest), across the widest point of the shoulder and to B (the center point of your horse’s rear, under the tail). Ensure your measuring tape is level and taut, which is easiest with 2 people. The number of inches is your horse’s "true size." Learn more about properly sizing your horse here.
Fit
Our Advice: This product fits TRUE TO SIZE. You should rely on your horse's "true size" (as measured above). If between sizes we recommend sizing up.
Some brands run a little large or small, so we recommend checking out our numerous product reviews for more advice. Bear in mind that every horse is different and that your measurement is a guide only. We carry many different styles to suit all shapes and sizes. Please contact us if you do have any questions about size or fit. We’re always happy to help!
Use
This is a FLY SHEET, intended to protect your horse from flies/insects on warm days while offering UV protection and breathability.
Turnouts, blankets & sheets serve a variety of functions. Turnouts act as a waterproof insulator layer, helping to maintain condition in cold weather. Stable blankets are not waterproof and simply provide insulation for warmth. Other sheets (fly, cooler, competition, scrim, etc.) excel at a number of other functions.
Please be aware that conditions may vary in a short time span, and always ensure your horse is comfortable under the current conditions. Learn more about product use here.
Care
We recommend having your sheets PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED.
