LeMieux Waterproof Rain Sheet Exercise Cover-Up
Description
LeMieux Rain Sheet - Waterproof Riding Cover-Up for Wet Weather Hacking
The LeMieux Rain Sheet is a waterproof exercise cover-up that sits over your saddle and tack, keeping your horse's back, neck and quarters protected in the rain. Rated waterproof to 3000mm with an integrated neck and tail flap, it is best for riders who hack, school or warm up outdoors through autumn and winter.
Because it fits over the top of the saddle using stirrup slits and a single surcingle, it protects your leatherwork as well as your horse - a practical alternative to an under-saddle exercise sheet when the weather turns. Reflective LeMieux branding and trim details add visibility in low light conditions.

How to Use
- Tack up as normal, then measure your horse from the centre of the chest to the point of the buttock to confirm your rug size.
- Fold the sheet and lay it over the saddle from the withers back, smoothing it down over the quarters.
- Bring the neck flap forward so it sits comfortably in front of the saddle without pressing on the shoulders.
- Feed the stirrups through the stirrup slits so the leathers hang free.
- Fasten the single surcingle snugly but not tightly, allowing room for a flat hand underneath.
- Check the fillet string sits under the tail and the tail flap lies flat before you mount.

FAQ
Is the LeMieux Rain Sheet fully waterproof?
It has a waterproofing rating to 3000mm, which gives reliable protection for everyday riding in rain and drizzle.
Does it go over or under the saddle?
It is a cover-up sheet designed to go over the saddle. Stirrup slits let the stirrups through, so it protects your tack and leatherwork as well as your horse.
What size should I order?
Measure from the centre of the chest to the point of the buttock and match this to your usual rug size. If your horse is between sizes or is a broad cob type, size up so the sheet drapes over the saddle without pulling.
Will it flap in the wind?
A soft cord fillet string and single surcingle hold the sheet in place to help prevent flapping on windy rides.
Is it suitable for riding in the dark?
Reflective LeMieux branding and trim details add visibility in low light conditions. For early mornings or dusk, pair it with additional reflective rider kit.
How do I care for it?
Allow it to dry, brush off mud and hair, then clean and reproof following the care label. Avoid fabric conditioner and high heat, which can affect the water-resistant finish.
