As riders that face many weather conditions, keeping ourselves and our saddles dry is always a challenge. Quarter sheets are designed to keep your horse warm but not the rider... Oilskin jackets can cover your saddle but are bulky and are not ideal in warmer weather (summer rains). There didn't seem to be anything we could find that met our needs, so we designed it! The result is a highly wind and water repellent riding skirt that protects our expensive saddles from rain and snow while riding.
The Discovery Trekking Outfitters Saddle Skirt is breathable, stretchy, and stays in place even in windy conditions. The garment anchors to the legs of the rider with adjustable elastic and completely covers the pommel or horn. The Softshell fabric is very water and wind repellent. It doesn't rustle or make noise like other protective sheets. As a major bonus, you can get on and off your horse while wearing the rain skirt, as it does not attach to your horse in any way. Check out this video of the Extended Skirt in action!
The Extended style was developed at the request of endurance and eventing riders and has an adjustable, retractable rump rug. The extended version can be cinched up to fit just behind the saddle, or extended to cover the rump of the horse to keep their muscles warm. The extended saddle skirt will cover the rump of larger breeds such as Warmbloods. It is approximately 78" from front to the rear when it is fully extended. If measuring from the rider's back, it is 52" to the end of the rump. The width is 58" across in total, or 29" from the rider's center back, down over the riders legs.
Saddle Skirts can be custom made in many colors, however our stock color is Black. Have a special color request? We have dozens of beautiful Softshell colors and prints available (check out our Pacific Tech Softshell colors HERE)
A stripe of reflective ribbon can be added to each side of the skirt for an additional $15.
