Horse summer sheet – protection in warm seasons

At DocHorse, you'll find a wide range of summer sheets for horses from top brands like Bucas, Amigo, Amigo Mio, Rambo, and Kentucky. A summer sheet keeps your horse clean, protects against drafts or light cold, and is ideal for use in summer and during transitional periods in spring and autumn.

What is a summer sheet?

A horse summer sheet is a lightweight sheet that offers protection during cool summer days or nights. Most summer sheets are made of cotton or cotton-effect materials. These fabrics are not waterproof but are highly breathable, making the sheet very suitable for warmer days.

Looking for a waterproof horse summer sheet? Then consider a thin rain sheet, which repels rain and is also airy enough for summer use. Additionally, there are coolers made of mesh or a combination of cotton and fleece. These sheets are ideal for the trailer, at competitions, or for keeping your horse clean and cool after bathing.

What to consider when ordering a summer sheet?

At DocHorse, you have a wide selection of summer sheets to choose from. When purchasing, pay attention to:

  • Material: choose a horse cotton sheet or a similar fabric that is breathable and airy.
  • Fit: there are models specifically for broad horses, horses with large necks, and ponies.
  • Freedom of movement: check the fit to ensure the sheet is roomy enough at the wither and chest, allowing your horse to move freely.
