Equine Quarter Sheets

Equine quarter sheets are lightweight horse coverings designed to provide warmth and protection over a horse's hindquarters during exercise or warm-up. Horse quarter sheets are commonly used while riding, lunging, or cooling out, especially in cooler weather when muscles benefit from staying warm. Unlike full blankets, quarter sheets are shaped to allow freedom of movement while helping protect large muscle groups from wind and temperature changes.

Chewy's selection of equine quarter sheets includes designs made for riding, schooling, and pre- or post-exercise use. You'll find horse quarter sheets with cutaway shapes that fit around the saddle, options with secure attachments to help keep the sheet in place, and materials chosen to balance warmth with breathability. Some equine quarter sheets are designed for light insulation, while others focus more on wind or moisture protection. Choosing the right quarter sheet depends on your climate, your horse's workload, and when you plan to use it during your routine. Here are some things to consider when shopping for equine quarter sheets:

• When you plan to use it: Some equine quarter sheets are designed for warm-up and riding, while others are better suited for cool-down or light exercise only

• Level of warmth needed: Quarter sheets range from lightweight wind-blocking fabrics to insulated materials for colder riding conditions

• Freedom of movement: A well-designed cut allows the horse to move freely through the hindquarters without bunching or rubbing during work

• Attachment and security: Straps, closures, or saddle cutouts help keep the quarter sheet in place while the horse is in motion

• Weather exposure: Wind, rain, and temperature swings all affect which equine quarter sheet will be most comfortable and practical

Equine quarter sheets provide targeted warmth over the hindquarters and back while allowing full freedom of movement during riding, warm-ups, and cool-downs. They are especially useful in cool or windy conditions when horses need muscle coverage without overheating or bulk under the saddle. By choosing an equine quarter sheet that fits properly and suits your riding routine, you can help support comfort, muscle readiness, and a smoother transition before and after work.
