Troubleshooting

Sheet does not fit properly or slips.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Adjust the front closures, belly wrap, and leg straps. Ensure leg straps are securely fastened and crossed correctly if applicable.

Horse appears uncomfortable or rubbed.

Check that the wither relief pad is correctly positioned and not creating pressure. Ensure the lining is smooth and free of debris. Verify the overall fit is not too tight or too loose.

Sheet is not providing adequate insect protection.

Confirm that all closures and wraps are secured, leaving no gaps. Ensure the sheet covers the intended areas fully.

Material seems to be snagged or torn.

Inspect the sheet for damage. Minor snags may not affect performance, but significant tears should be repaired to maintain protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure the sheet is the correct size for your horse. Position the sheet over your horse, aligning the wither relief pad.
