Hi guys,
I'm after a fluorescent yellow exercise sheet for my black mare. She's not clipped so I'm steering cleer of fleece-lined ones - I'd also like to be able to use it all year on the roads, so I don't want anything overly warm. I love the Mark Todd one but it has a fleece lining and I think that might be too warm.
My problem is that my horse is hates rustling noises, and so I'm trying to find a quiet-ish material that won't flap or make too much noise! I saw the Equasafety ones at Olympia and they looked good. If anyone's used one of these or has another suggestion, I'd be grateful to hear about it!

Just a word - I read that it should be pink flourescent for road riding - it stands out much better if you can cope with the comments! We used to have one that was sort of like a mesh fabric - very quiet

Equifleece do an exercise sheet and a quarter sheet, which does not go under the saddle but just attaches to the saddle with clips and can be rolled up. VERY BRIGHT and keeps the rain off.

I bought a mesh high viz sheet for my lad which had reflective strip binding all the way round and it certainly stands out, it was £15 and I bought it online, just trying to remember who I bought it from now.

Another vote for Equafleece from me. They wick away moisture so are great. No rustling noises either!

I have just ordered a mesh quarter sheet from v-bandz as it looks really nice and light-weight (have also got an un-clipped pony), I thought that the tail flap would make us a bit more noticeable from behind. I think it was £19 with about £3 p+p. uk.v-bandz.com/home_frame.php?country=

Hi Piglet I've got a bright pink excercise sheet from v-bandz which i think is a better colour than the yellow. Depends on how much you want to spend but this is worth every penny x
