Product Information

Full details

The Whitaker Rothwell Roll-up Rain Sheet is designed for equestrians who need a versatile, quick-deploy waterproof layer for both stable and riding use. It offers the key benefit of extreme portability with its compact, roll-away design, making it an ideal emergency layer for unpredictable weather. While it provides excellent protection against the elements, potential users should note that as a lightweight rain sheet, it does not offer insulation or warmth for frigid winter conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used as a turnout rug?

This sheet is primarily designed as a lightweight rain cover for convenience and short-term use, rather than a heavy-duty turnout rug for long-term field wear.

Is the sheet machine washable?

We recommend hand washing to maintain the integrity of the waterproof shell; machine washing can potentially strip the water-repellent finish.

Does it come in different sizes?

Yes, the Rothwell series is available in various sizes ranging from Small to Extra Large to accommodate different horse builds.

Will it keep my horse warm?

No, this is a rain sheet and does not have a fill or lining, so it provides no insulation against the cold.

Can I use it while lunging?

Yes, as long as the surcingle and Velcro straps are properly secured, it is safe for exercise, provided the movement does not cause the sheet to shift significantly.

Troubleshooting

Sheet sliding sideways while the horse moves

Ensure the removable surcingle is adjusted to a snug but comfortable tension and verify that the chest and neck Velcro straps are tightly fastened.

Difficulty threading stirrup leathers through slits

Thread the leathers through the slits before you pull the rug fully into position over the horse's back to ensure better alignment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly portable and compact storage
  • Suitable for use while mounted
  • Easy to put on and remove quickly
  • Breathable material prevents sweat buildup

Cons

  • Offers no thermal insulation
  • Velcro-only closure system may not suit horses that move aggressively
  • Limited to light-to-moderate rain protection

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, unfold it from its storage bag and align the neck piece with the horse's crest. Secure the two Velcro straps on the neck, followed by the chest strap, and then attach the removable surcingle. When using while riding, feed your stirrup leathers through the designated side slits before mounting. For care, it is recommended to brush off dried mud after use and store in a cool, dry place inside the provided bag. If the sheet requires deep cleaning, hand wash with a mild, non-detergent soap to preserve the waterproof coating, and always air dry completely before rolling up for storage.
