Horse exercise rugs or horse exercise sheets are used whilst out riding to keep your horse warm or dry. The horse exercise rug will generally stretch from the front of the horse’s saddle to it rear. Many exercise sheets are placed under the saddle, with the saddle fitted over the top, whilst other exercise rugs may have an area cut out so that the rug fits over the saddle and fastens at the front.
As will all other types of horse rug, exercise sheets come in a number of colours and fabrics; some being made of 100% wool and other of waterproof and breathable synthetic materials. There are many manufacturers of horse exercise sheets including WeatherBeeta, Rhino, Mark Todd, Thermatex, Coolex and Kingshead.

Whether you’ve just bought a horse for the first time or are an experienced owner it can be confusing knowing whether your horse or pony needs an equine rug, and if they do what type of horse rug to buy.
Which type of equine rug or blanket should you buy and when should you use it? We will give you all the in-and-outs on turnout rugs, exercise rugs, stable rugs, cooler rugs, travel rugs, summer sheets and so much more.
We will teach you to identify which horse rug you need whatever the weather conditions. If you want to keep your horse or pony dry and warm in winter or protected from flies and insects or the harmful rays of the sun in the summer all you need to know is right here at horserugs.me.uk.
We know that the vast array of horse rugs available can be bewildering. Should you buy a cheap non-branded horse rug, a second-hand horse rug or do you go for a well known branded horse rug from Masta, Mark Todd, Aerborn & Bucas, Weatherbeeta, Horseware, FAL or Kingshead?
We will also give you hint and tips on how to measure your horse to ensure you get a horse rug that fits your horse or pony properly. An equine rug that is too big or small around your horse’s neck will be very uncomfortable and may cause your horse serious discomfort. With our advice this won’t happen.
We also believe that knowledge is all about shared experience. We want you to not only ask questions about horse rugs, or indeed any aspect of looking after and caring for your horse or pony, but we also want you to tell us what works and doesn’t work for you.
