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.
