Product Information
Full details
The HyVIZ Reflector Mesh Exercise Sheet is an essential tool for equestrians who prioritize safety during road hacking or low-light training. Designed for riders who require increased visibility in varied weather conditions, it offers a lightweight, breathable solution that prevents overheating. While it excels at high-visibility signaling, the mesh material is specifically intended for warmer days, meaning it does not provide thermal insulation for cold-weather riding.

FAQs
Is this sheet waterproof?
No, this is a lightweight mesh sheet designed for breathability in warm weather; it does not offer waterproof protection.
Can I use this on a clipped horse?
While it can be used on clipped horses in very hot weather, it is primarily designed for unclipped horses or those who do not require extra warmth.
How do I ensure the reflective material lasts?
Avoid tumble drying and harsh chemicals. Washing on a cool, gentle cycle will help preserve the reflectivity of the strips.
Does it fit all saddle types?
The saddle-shaped cut is designed to fit most standard English saddles; however, it may need adjustment for very large dressage saddles or specific western styles.
Can this be used for turnout?
No, this is intended specifically as an exercise sheet for supervised riding and should not be used for unsupervised turnout.
Troubleshooting
The sheet slides backward during exercise
Ensure the touch tape fastenings are wrapped securely around the saddle bars and that the fillet string is properly adjusted to the horse's size.
Reflective strips appear dull
Wipe the reflective strips with a damp cloth to remove dust and dried mud, as dirt can obstruct their ability to reflect light.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the sheet, place it over the horse's quarters, ensuring the saddle cut-out aligns correctly with the saddle. Secure the touch tape fastenings firmly at the front of the saddle to prevent it from sliding backward. Finally, attach the fillet string under the horse’s tail to ensure the sheet remains stable even on windy days.
Care instructions are straightforward: because it is made of mesh, it should be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, which can degrade the reflective strips. Always hang the sheet to air dry away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
