Turnout sheets/blankets

Top 5 turnout sheets

When blanketing your horse for those chilly nights leading up to winter months, picking the right turnout sheet that isn’t too heavy but is comfortable for your horse and does the job at hand. Since I live in Ontario, Canada the weather can be unpredictable and this past August we had a massive head wave of 40+ Celcuis (100 F) as soon as September hit the nights got a bit cooler and also we had a week of rain which made it more chilly and muddy. Depending on where u live you may want to have a rain sheet or a waterproof turnout sheet. A turnout sheet is a sheet with no fill or light fill up to 120 grams, you don’t want to put a sheet that is a turnout blanket because on those warmer days where it is 15 C (59 F) your horse will overheat unless you can get out to the barn to remove it or put a light one on.

My top pick is:
1)  no picture available.

This sheet comes in 4 color options, and pony sizes (48”-64”)- 66”87”Horse size , 640 Denier rip stop, poly cotton mesh lining, tail flap, fleece at the withers to prevent rubbing, it also comes with legs straps which are excellent incase your horse roles the sheet will stay in place.

2) 
Amigo Mio turnout sheet (pix above)
This sheet is a 600 Denier polyester shell that is waterproof and breathable, coat smoothing and nylon lining, Also has a Rambo original cut design and front leg arch for freedom of movement? Distinctive two toned color, in 3” increments, sizing : 66”-84” The only thing i suggest with this sheet as the front buckles are not adjustable, is to go down in sizing for your horse so it isn’t too big because it comes in 3” increments rather than the normal 2”.
