Horse Stable Sheets & Blankets for Sale

The Blanketing Solution. Our horse stable sheets and blankets for sale are designed to help your horse stay warm in the barn during the coldest days of the year. While turnout sheets and blankets are waterproofed for outdoor use in the pasture, stable blankets usually are made without any waterproof coating. Made from cotton, nylon, and fleece, stable sheets cover the horse’s body with surcingle and leg straps help it to stay in place.

Stable sheets offer lightweight protection for your horse while he's in the barn, in the trailer, or as a liner layer under a waterproof blanket. Often stable sheets are the go-to the night before a show when your horse has been clipped and bathed to keep them free of stains and dust. For a warmer, thicker option, you might want a stable blanket for your horse. Still not waterproof or water-resistant, they are made from nylon and have a layer of polyfill like turnout blankets. They often are not as heavy-duty as turnout blankets since they don't need to stand up to mud, sticks, rocks, and other things that can tear the nylon.

You may wonder what the use is or why buy a horse blanket that isn't waterproof. One benefit is that with washing, waterproofing fades over time. By using stable blankets that aren't waterproof as liners or layers, you won't have to worry about waterproofing them in the years to come. Stable blankets are great to layer with and can easily be turned into a turnout with the addition of a waterproof sheet on top to protect them. Simply toss a stable sheet or blanket underneath a turnout sheet and maintain the water-resistance of the outermost layer! Another added benefit is that when your horse comes in from turnout with a soaking wet blanket on, simply peel it off and put on the warm, cozy, dry stable blanket in its place.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a stable sheet and a stable blanket?

A stable sheet carries no insulating fill, so it's meant purely as a lightweight cover, while a stable blanket has a layer of poly-fill built in for real warmth. Both are made for indoor use in the barn or trailer and neither one has a waterproof coating the way a turnout piece does.

Fill Weight	Typical Use
0g (no fill)	Summer sheet or clean-coat layer
100g to 150g	Cool nights, spring and fall transition
200g to 300g	Standard winter barn wear
400g and up	Deep cold, clipped horses, older horses

Are stable blankets waterproof?

No, stable blankets are not built to be waterproof. Since they're meant for indoor use in the barn, aisle, or trailer, manufacturers rely on cotton, nylon, or fleece instead of a waterproof membrane, which keeps the fabric breathable and avoids the coating breakdown that happens on turnout gear after repeated washing.

What does denier mean on a horse blanket, and does a higher number always mean better?

No, a higher denier number doesn't automatically make a blanket better, it simply means the outer fibers are woven more densely and generally resist tearing better. A heavier denier shell holds up to rough stall walls and daily wear, while a lighter one stays cooler and easier to handle.

420D: lightweight, common on everyday spring and fall sheets
600D: mid-weight, built to handle daily stall wear
1000D to 1200D: heavy-duty ripstop for horses that are hard on their gear

How do I measure my horse for a stable blanket or sheet?

Stand the horse square on level ground and measure from the center of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the rump just before the tail. If the number lands between two sizes, round up rather than down, since a slightly large fit lays correctly while a tight one tends to rub at the shoulders and chest.

Can a stable sheet be used as a liner under a turnout blanket?

Yes, a stable sheet works well as a liner underneath a turnout blanket and it's one of the more practical ways to get extra life out of both pieces. Layering it underneath keeps sweat and grit off the turnout's inner lining, and if the horse comes in soaked, you can pull off the wet layer and drop on a dry stable piece instead of leaving them cold.

How often should a stable blanket be washed?

Once a year is typically enough for a stable blanket that gets brushed off between uses, though a horse that sweats heavily under it or a heavier work schedule may call for a mid-season wash too.

Brush or hose off loose dirt and shavings before washing
Hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cool water and a mild soap made for technical fabrics
Skip the dryer and hot water, both break down the fill and shell over time
Let it drip dry completely before folding it away in storage
