The term “hose duck” often shortened to just “duck”,
describes the style of yarn construction and type of
fabric that have been used for many years in horse
sheets. Contemporary duck sheets are a 50% cotton/50%
polyester blend, chosen for their attributes of
durability, dye fastness, and limited shrinkage.
In most parts or the country these sheets can be used
while trailering, after a bath, or as evening attire on
cool nights. Many people like to match their stable or
racing colors when they order their sheets.
An ideal summer sheet to help keep the coat clean and protect it from the sun during the day, while providing lightweight protection at night. Perfect for shows and mild weather year round. Expect 2-3% shrinkage with the cotton canvas. We suggest purchasing one size larger to allow for shrinkage.
Made to the same high standards as the Cotton Stable Sheet, this nine panel hood will provide a perfect contoured fit over the horse's head and neck. Hood buckles are made from durable injection molded Delrin.
