Quarter Sheets
An exercise rug, sometimes called a quarter sheet or riding blanket, covers a horse’s hindquarters. Exercise rugs come in two basic types to serve different purposes. One type is made of a waterproof material designed to help keep a horse dry while riding during wet weather. The other type of exercise rug is made of either wool or synthetic fleece fabric. This cozy covering helps keep your horse’s muscles warm during cold weather workouts. It can be used throughout a ride or just for warm-ups and cool-downs to prevent muscles from getting chilled. To create a truly personalized look, add a monogram to a ready-to-wear rug or let us help you with a custom order.
When the weather is cold, your horse may need some help staying warm while being ridden. An exercise rug, or quarter sheet, is perfect for keeping your horse's hindquarters warm while warming up, cooling down or even during an entire ride if your horse is clipped. Many of our quarter sheets can be fastened over the rider's legs to help keep you warm as well. Available in wool, fleece or waterproof materials, a horse quarter sheet is a valuable addition for the cold winter months.
