Quarter/Exercise Rug?

I was looking at quarter rugs as it gets quite chilly here in the winter in the outdoor arena (as I found out last year, haha.). But was wondering what everyone’s take on them was. I understand they are used for horses with thin or shaven coats, in winter weather, etc. Do the ones that go over the riders leg interefere with posting or other movements? Or is it better to simply use the ones that work underneath the saddle? All of the riding will be done outdoors for the winter so I wanted to see if it was appropriate to purchase one. My horse/pony are not shaven and have decent coat length. Any info or opinion would be appreciated. Thanks.

if your horse grows a decent coat, then the quarter sheet would be more of a burden than a help. the QS are made to keep the muscles of the hindquarters loose and warm so they wont get strained during warmups and cooldowns. if you used one on a horse with a good coat, then they would get sweaty and nasty, and it wouldnt be worth it. i have always ridden outside and never had a problem without a QS. just take alot of extra time warming up and cooling down your horse. take about 10 minutes before and after the workout and just walk. like i said, if the horse has a good coat, you dont really need one.
