Best Rain Sheets For Horses To Protect From Showers

Every horse needs one of the best rain sheets in his wardrobe. With 0g fill, rain sheets are ideal for keeping your horse dry in warmer weather. Of course, it’s OK for horses to get a bit wet, but if you want to keep him clean and dry for later on then a rain sheet is a great option to tide you over when light rain is forecast.

Ideal for British summers, rain sheets are popular for good-doers and hardier types that only require light rugging, but rain sheets are also often worn by unclipped horses in the spring and autumn. They’re not usually designed to hold off really heavy rain in the same way that a lightweight turnout rug would do, but are perfect for showers and providing extra protection from the wind without adding any warmth. If you’re looking to protect your horse from flies, it might be worth considering a waterproof fly rug, too.

Many of the best rain sheets for horses often come with more simple fastenings, which make them quick and easy to put on and take off but in turn offers less adjustability, so this is something to consider. Some also only have a fillet string rather than leg straps. Rain sheets are increasingly becoming liner compatible, which means you can buy them as an outer shell, mixing and matching liners to create a warmer rug. This saves you having to buy a different rug for every temperature.

This turnout from Derby House is described as designed to last – it has the strongest outer shell of all in this guide at 1680D. The shell is liner compatible, which means rather than having to have lots of different rugs for every time the weather changes you can instead add or remove a liner as required. It has double buckle and clip chest fastenings, elasticated leg straps, a shaped, detachable neck with fleece poll pad and storm flap.

Awarded H&H Approved, this really is one of the best rain sheets for horses on the market. Read H&H’s full independent Derby House Elite Lightweight Turnout review.
