Wrap round exercise sheets......

[merlinsquest]

What size for a 15.h gelding who takes a 6'3" rug.

Are any makes better than others????

Best place to get a bargain

My 15.3hh that takes 6'3" has 4'3" exercise sheets - the 4'6" is too big.

Personally I have never got on with the wrap around hi-viz exercise sheets - They always seem to slip, and slowly move backwards.

I have a wool one and a thermatex wrap around one that do not slip (I guess the fabric is more 'sticky' than the cotton lined high-viz.

I have a horsewear one (i think it is anyway... it comes in blue stripes too?).. looks like a new market blanket, but is fleece and wrap around, love it, doesn't slip, is cosy and doesn't let light showers through.
Not sure about sizing though, sorry

I would suggest a 4ft 6 size and the Mark Todd ones are great!

If it's any help, my last cob who took a 5'9 rug had 4'6 exercise sheets which fitted him perfectly.

The mark todd wrap around hi viz sheet is pretty good - I would get another one if anything happened to mine.
I also have a plain fleece mark todd wrap around exercise sheet - love both of them.

In theory you take two foot of the normal sized rug for the size of an exercise sheet. It doesnt always work, but its a start!!
I never wear the wraparounds over my legs, I put it under that saddle flap, over the girth straps.
I have a lovely light weatherbeeta fleece one, a hi viz waterproof one and a thick thermatex one! My boys feels the cold in the winter!
