"I ordered this because the website described it as cotton and poly. I have been happy with my other Smartpak sheets and just loved the pink plaid for my mare. I was very surprised when it arrived and was 100% polyester. I returned it to the store, and they ordered a new one, thinking it was a mistake. The second one arrived and it too was 100% polyester. My mare runs hot, and I would never put polyester on her, so back went #2. Apparently this color only comes in poly now. Too bad for me."
"The blue sheet is very cute on my grey gelding. But it really ran small. He wears a 72" blanket and while I kept the 75" sheet, it is a little snugger than I'd like around his barrel. The 75" overall length is fairly true. Not sure about durability since he's only worn it twice. So far, so good!"
"Looks great and fits well. My horse hasn't ripped it yet so thats a good sign! Loved how fast it came and how it went right to the barn with the smart packs."
"My pony has everything SmartBlue, so when I decided to get him a light sheet for both being inside and outside on cooler days, I had to get something in blue plaid to match everything else he has (and I mean everything...). I love this blanket. It is high quality and very soft. It fits him well also, though it could be a hair shorter. He is a pony, but has somewhat of a horse build so it is hard to find a blanket that isn't too long or too short. The color is stunning and very eye-catching. Of course, he loves to roll and has already gotten it a bit dirty, but it has held up well with all the running around and rolling he does both outside and in his stall. He seems to be very comfortable in his new sheet, and I think he loves it just as much as I do."

Tempo eating grass with his SmartBlue stable sheet!
"This sheet has the usual high quality found in SmartPak wear. I am sad to say I had to return it because it was too tight in the shoulders. Our appendix is 17h and needs gussets in the front to accomodate his body. The beautiful blue plaid would have looked wonderful on him although he made us all laugh when we tried it on him. He hid in the corner and snorted at it. I guess the plaid was scarey looking!"
"I bought this for my mare as a blanket to hold the heat in of her liniment for her shoulders and flanks. The blanket needed to be cotton, light enough to be used in the summer, durable, and nice enough to be used at shows as a cooler. This blanket is perfect. I love how it looks on my mare and the way it fits, and best of all, she seems to like it too. The price was also very reasonable for the blanket."
"This sheet is nice enough. The fabric does seem sturdy and I have no qualms about it. My problem was with the leg straps. The hind leg straps are sewn to the sheet towards the front with clips that clip in the rear. In less than 2 weeks the strap had torn from the blanket. My blanket repair lady told me that she has seen this exact problem on many smartpak sheet. She reinforced the straps and they seem sturdy now. Sorta a let down to have to send your brand new sheet to get repaired =/"
"I really like a lot about my new SmartPink sheet, but I think it would be better suited to a warmblood type. It hangs a little long on my thoroughbred, even thought the length fits her very well! Well made product, just not absolutely perfect for my mare."
"My horse's name is Pink, so how could I resist but to buy this sheet?! Pink is a roller and this blanket has held up very well so far. I would make two changes to it and they're both in the same area - the chest. I'd like to see more material for an overlap in the front and have clips instead of the buckles. The straps have started to fray a little bit, but not offensively. All the straps are a bit short, compared to other blankets I've purchased but fit my 17 hand TB mare without rubbing her the wrong way:) I encourage others to purchase this value priced sheet."
"Body clipped horse and needed something unlined for turnout. Is turned out in group in grass field and so far holding up great. Fits good, no rub marks."
"Wonderful sheet, wonderful price, wonderful fit, great features on all the buckles and closures. My mare was very comfortable in record heat in Nampa Idaho (101) on 9-24-11. She is 17 a hand mahogany bay and she looked smart!! Got a lot of compliments on her beauty and her smart look!!"
"I really like this sheet. The color looks so good and even though stains show up on it easily, with a good stain remover and washing often, it still looks brand new. The velcro in the front doesnt reach around my horses chest though and he's not even that wide and the leg straps are as long as possible and they are almost too small, so I'd say the sheets run small. It's also very light and fairly breathable so I can use it for keeping my horse clean for shows."
"I purchased this sheet for my 15'1 thoroughbred after he gained weight. It can be tightened enough to fit great through his narrow shoulders, but it is also long enough to cover his belly...all of it."
"Fits our warmblood like a dream. Heavier than I expected. Haven't used yet, but it's so bright and crisp I worry that it will show EVERY suggestion of a stain. Otherwise, a lovely, well-made sheet. With his black lycra hood and shipping boots, he will be stylishly outfitted as we travel to shows!"
"Bought this sheet for my daughter for shows! Like the color! Fit a little snug to sizing! Haven't got to use it yet but seems like it was made good and of good quality!"
"I just got the SmartPink Stable Sheet. Fits great on my premarin mare. I wanted something "feminine" and am hoping it does not shrink when I wash it. My only suggestion would be to add velcro to the front to keep her chest covered. The sheet comes low enough on the sides for good coverage."
"The sheet fits nicely enough, but desperately needs velcro at the front closure to keep the two edges from curling back over her shoulders. Also, it didn't wash up very well, it didn't release any stains. Nice hardware, and the cut is good, but a few simple changes would make this sheet a really nice thing to have."
"I really like this sheet. The material is very durable, the hardware is high quality and I love the clips on the belly straps. The only improvement I would make is clips on the chest buckles too. I have not washed it yet but am hoping it will not shrink as it is a perfect fit. Very high quality for a nice price, plus it looks lovely on my gray mare."
