Rugged-Up Fleece Quarter Sheet

The Rugged-Up Fleece Quarter Sheet is a practical riding sheet designed to help keep your horse's hindquarters warm and comfortable during exercise in cooler weather.

Made from soft, lightweight fleece, it provides an additional layer of warmth without the bulk of a full rug. The practical quarter-sheet cut sits neatly around the saddle area while allowing the horse freedom of movement, making it ideal for warm-ups, cool-downs, hacking and everyday winter schooling.

Part of the locally manufactured Rugged-Up horsewear range, this is a useful addition to any rider's winter kit for chilly mornings, cool evenings and colder riding conditions.

Why Use a Fleece Quarter Sheet?

A quarter sheet provides targeted coverage over the horse's back and hindquarters while leaving the shoulders and front of the horse relatively unrestricted.

This makes it particularly useful when you want to provide an additional layer of warmth during exercise without using a full exercise rug.

Fleece also provides warmth without excessive weight, making it a practical choice for everyday winter riding.

During Warm-Ups

On cold days, the Rugged-Up Fleece Quarter Sheet can be used during the early stages of a ride while the horse gradually warms up.

Once the horse is sufficiently warm, the sheet can be removed if conditions and the individual horse require it.

During Cool-Downs

The fleece construction also makes the quarter sheet useful during the cool-down phase after exercise, particularly when temperatures are low.

Monitor your horse carefully and adjust or remove the sheet as necessary to prevent overheating.

Fit & Sizing

Choose the appropriate size for your horse to ensure the quarter sheet sits securely around the saddle and provides suitable coverage over the hindquarters without restricting movement.
