[RC] rain sheets and sizing - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Kirsten Seyferth scatris@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== I've tried a number of different brands over the years, and I agree that the best rain sheets are the ones made by Horseware (Rambo & Rhino). The Lite ones are perfect for milder climates. They're really lightweight, I have a 1000 denier Rambo turnout sheet that weighs next to nothing, yet it keeps the horse dry and comfortable. And yes, they run VERY large. My 15h arab (short back) wears a 69", my 14.1 and 14.2h short backed geldings fit into 66", which is actually a pony size and therefore a bit cheaper :-))) These blankets or sheets miracoulesly stay in place despite no leg straps, even when the horse is running, rolling and romping around. I also have a couple of Big D blankets (they were endurance awards) and they run a lot smaller. 72" fit snuggly on the 14.2h horse who won them. Schneiders 72" was too big. Weatherbeetas run pretty large, too, and I didn't have any luck with them fitting well (tried 69", was okay along the back but way to wide around the neck). Toklat blankets seem true to size (70" for 14.2h), but they're wool lined and a bit to heavy for our area.
