Types Of Summer Horse Blankets and When to Use Them

As the name suggests, summer sheets are designed specifically for warmer weather. These lightweight, breathable sheets help keep your horse comfortable by offering protection from the heat, sun, and insects. Many of our summer sheets also provide UV protection, which makes them ideal for sunny days.

But their versatility doesn’t stop there — summer sheets are also a popular choice for layering under heavier blankets during winter to keep turnouts clean. One thing to keep in mind: they are not waterproof. Wearing them in the rain can make your horse colder, so it’s best to reserve them for dry conditions.

Perfect for summer, mesh fly sheets are designed to shield your horse from the sun and irritating flies while keeping them cool. Our mesh sheets come in a range of fabric types so you can find the ideal fit for your horse’s needs.

They’re particularly useful during hot, humid weather and can handle light rain, as they dry quickly and don’t retain moisture.

For wet and unpredictable weather, turnout blankets are your go-to. We offer a wide selection of turnouts suitable for all seasons — from heavy (200g+) and medium (100–200g), to lightweight (0g) options.

In the warmer months, lightweight turnouts are ideal for keeping your horse dry during rain while preventing overheating in mild temperatures

Coolers are designed to regulate your horse’s body temperature after exercise, keeping muscles warm while allowing sweat to dry. They’re also a great choice when traveling to and from competitions.

Our cooler range includes options specifically made for summer. For example, the WeatherBeeta Air-Tec Cooler Standard Neck features a combination of mesh styles for enhanced breathability and airflow — perfect for post-workout recovery in hot weather.

No matter the weather — from dry, sunny days to humid or rainy conditions — WeatherBeeta offers a range of high-quality blankets to keep your horse protected, comfortable, and happy throughout spring and summer.
