Quarter Sheet for Monoflap?

[Absolut_Equestrian]

Any recommendations for quarter sheets that work well with a Monoflap and do not create bulk under your leg?

I have a fleece "Keyhole"model from Dover, and am looking for something better. I don’t really need it over my lap, and hate the extra bulk it creates under my leg when I place it under the stirrup leathers.

It seems like the old-school models that attached to the back of the saddle are getting very hard to find. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Not hard to find in the endurance community. Here’s a couple of options:

Or if you want something that’s a little more of a “statement piece”

I would never have thought to check out the Endurance sites for “Rump Rugs.” Thanks!

Saratoga Horseworks still does the “riding blanket” type that fits under the saddle like a pad. The drawback is that you can’t take it off when you’ve warmed up.

I use this one and love it, but I’m not sure whether it would work with a momoflap or not: http://www.thermatex.co.uk/thermatex/Thermatex_Quarter_Rug.html

I have an old-style wool quarter sheet that I adore. I place it on top of a standard square pad, beneath the monoflap saddle, and do the traditional fold up the lower corners under the saddle flap to give close contact for my leg. I love this quarter sheet because unlike polar fleece, the real wool doesn’t stretch and hang a mile off the horse’s tail. It retains its shape and drapes nicely over the hind quarters, even on windy days (though it has a removable tail cord with snaps). It’s warm, but breathes well too. I try not to get it dirty, not so easy to clean, but honestly I haven’t had to wash it in 10 years. If the horse is likely to sweat, I don’t use it.

True, I cannot remove this kind of quarter sheet without removing the saddle. But I only use it on cold days when hacking and when I wouldn’t want it off anyway. For fast work days, I either don’t use a QS or I use the light fleece cutout style, suffer with it around my legs through warmup and then take it off.

How does this stay put?

which keyhole one from Dover?

I have a monoflap too, and have been using this one: I put it under the saddle, but on top of the saddle pad.

I needed one last year that was weather proof, as we rode last winter rain or shine (which SUCKED!!) and I liked how it fit under the saddle and was lightweight enough not to interfere or change anything.

I’m eyeballing the BOT one, it’s apparently a “rug” and not a keyhole…

Straps that attach to the girth/billets.

I have this one from Dover. The hole is big enough to fasten around my lap, but not really big enough to go under the saddle as pictured here.

The Thermatex rug looks lovely, but I don’t think it would be easy to attach to my saddle. The billets don’t “start” until the bottom of the flap, so there would t be anywhere up high to attach the rug without rigging something up.

With all of the BOT sales going on right now, I caved and ordered this one. Looks like it can go under the flap without adding much bulk under the leg. I’ll update later once I’ve had a chance to try it out!

I have an Amigo Competition one- looks exactly like the Rambo competition one. It has fleece inside and a waterproof or resistant shell. I just slide it under the flaps of my mono and can take it off without issue. It velcros in front of the saddle for easy removal. It is also shaped so that it doesn’t have bulk under your leg. I love mine!!! They are around $60 right now it looks like.

Update: Very happy with my new quarter sheet from Back On Track!

It fits nicely under my saddle, and I don’t notice it under my leg. It’s a nice heavy fleece that drapes well over the hindquarters, and doesn’t seem too likely to flap in the breeze like the lighter sheet from Dover did. I like that the drop is not too far down on my 16.2 OTTB - I had previously tried a friend’s Rambo Newmarket quarter sheet, which looked more like a skirt that was too long.

Here’s a quick picture I snapped to show how it actually looks on a horse.
