[Bex7]

Can anyone tell me which size exercise sheet would fit a 6ft rug wearer?

I am looking to get a waterproof cut away one.

Patches is a 6ft rug and she has a 4ft 6 Mark Todd, wrap around exercise sheet.

mark todd

Cool thank, it is the Mark Todd I am looking at, all bert's bulk is in his chest so I think the 4'6" might do the trick.

Are they a good sheet?

cool thanks, I like the blue but I guess I had better get the yellow

I've found mine to be brilliant. Fits lovely, doesn't slip or slide and she seems happy in it. Looks long on her here because of how she's standing....pinching the bull's haylage! She was in heaven.

THey didn't have yellow in the size I wanted when I ordered mine. I said it was ok to send the blue. I wear high vi tabbard, hat band etc so didn't think it was that important to have the sheet in yellow.

I am loving her clip! Bert is due to be clipped Saturday, hence my need for a sheet, that and the fact that he is coming back into proper work after few months of being ridden only two or three times a week

I also have a tabbard and chest strap,sod it I will get a blue one.

Blue is bert's colour and he really does not look good in yellow! Some at the yard like to make it a personal mission to make sure you feel bad going out without every inch of your being covered in high viz!

That was last year and as you can see from that picture we were still struggling with her sweating alot when working. I used the sheet to hack to and from the school we used to hire for flatwork..hence why she's so sweaty.

She has a dodgy clip this year, as I've gotten her over her fear of clippers. I have more enthusiasm than skill when it comes to clipping!

 

[Patches]

Must admit, I did want it in yellow. However, at the time I was struggling hacking a very sweaty Patches back from where we hired a school for lessons. I just wanted the blanket quickly. As you can see she was wearing leg straps and a browband. Teamed with my tabbard and hat band, I think we were visible enough.

I've only used the sheet once this year and even then I called the hubby up to come and get it as it was too warm for it once it stopped raining. Winter's not hit yet! Snow forecast for tonight though.

Exercise sheets usually measure 1ft down from rug size but if in doubt then measure from withers to top of tail for the inch measurement and convert to feet!
