Rugs, Quarter Sheets & Sheets

Protecting your horse from the elements — wind, cold, and changing temperatures — is one of the most fundamental responsibilities of any horse owner. Horse rugs, quarter sheet and sheets form a complementary trio that covers all needs depending on the season, discipline, and lifestyle of the horse. OHLALA Sellerie offers a complete range of protective equipment designed for everyday equestrian use.

Rugs, quarter sheets and sheets: protecting your horse in every situation

The waterproof rug: essential protection in the paddock

The waterproof horse rug is designed to protect the horse during turnout in the field or paddock in wet weather. Its resistance is measured in denier — fabric density — and in millimetres of water column for waterproofing. A 600-denier fabric with 1,200 mm waterproofing is suitable for regular use in wet conditions. For clipped horses or very rainy regions, a more robust option (1,200 denier, 2,000 mm and above) is recommended.

Fleece and stable rugs: comfort in the stable

The horse fleece rug wicks moisture away quickly after exercise and provides gentle warmth in the stable during transitional seasons. Lightweight and breathable, it's the perfect addition to a rug rotation. The stable rug provides serious thermal insulation for cold winter nights. The right fill weight depends on the ambient temperature, the horse's breed, and its overall health.

Quarter sheets and sheets: versatile essentials

The quarter sheet: your companion for hacks and outdoor rides

The quarter sheet sits over the hindquarters and hindquarters to protect the horse during outdoor outings. Compact and lightweight, it's the perfect companion for trail rides where the weather can change quickly, or to keep your horse warm while he cools down in winter. The waterproof quarter sheet is made from a lightweight water-repellent fabric; the fleece version is ideal for cool, dry days. The under-saddle attachment and tail strap keep everything securely in place at any pace.

The horse sheet: lightweight protection for mid-season

The horse sheet is the lightest form of protection. With no fill, it shields against UV rays, insects and dust during warm periods. The fly sheet is essential in summer for horses sensitive to insect bites. Some styles are waterproofed for transitional seasons, bridging the gap between a fleece rug and a waterproof rug. Lightweight and easy to put on, sheets can also be used as under-rugs to add an extra layer of insulation.

Choosing the right protection: fill weight, denier and size

Fill weight and denier: the two key figures

The fill weight (in grams per m²) indicates the level of insulation: 0 g for a sheet or cooler, 100–200 g for transitional seasons, 300 g and above for harsh winters. The denier determines the fabric's durability: the higher the denier, the better the rug withstands rubbing and playful behaviour between horses in the paddock. Both parameters should be chosen in line with your horse's lifestyle — whether stabled, at pasture, or on full livery.

OHLALA Sellerie: care and tips for long-lasting rugs

The horse rugs OHLALA Sellerie rugs are available from 90 cm to 165 cm with adjustable fastening systems: chest straps, cross surcingles, and — depending on the model — an integrated neck cover. For care, machine wash at 30°C on a delicate cycle with a technical detergent. After air drying, a waterproofing spray restores the water-repellent properties. Store your rugs in a sealed bag between seasons to protect them from moisture.
