I've never seen anyone using a quarter sheet. You're not even allowed to wear waterproof coats unless given express permission by the hunt. I did think about getting something like a quarter sheet (can't remember the name now, a rump warmer or something) that pulls up behind the saddle when not in use. Thought it would be useful at port stops, but they didn't fold up discretely enough behind the saddle, they just don't look smart. A riding skirt on the other hand ... after all you're allowed one if you're riding side saddle.Do people use a black quarter sheet? Those sit just behind the saddle and cover the rump.
I have seen people in white waterproof trousers when it's piddling down.
So if wool to match your jacket it might be ok?
Again, why? Not that I don't like it (although I don't think it would look that nice over the top of normal winter jods) but why wear it at all?Ok your thoughts on this skirt?

I've seen people hunting in black short waterproof jackets. Depends on the hunt as you say. Pop down here as I know you can wear waterproofs.I've never seen anyone using a quarter sheet.

Immaterial for me, since Raf's continuing issues have stopped play for nearly the whole season. Do not make plans, do not make plans ...
I used to have full Hi viz waterproof riding trousers. They stopped making as not popular. Shame as they were great!Again, why? Not that I don't like it (although I don't think it would look that nice over the top of normal winter jods) but why wear it at all?

I did make this thinking back. I guess I could have worn it myself. It was weighted and it didn't annoy her.
Probably should have kept it.

Elegant!UPDATE!!
I just received my riding skirt in the mail, it only took 12 days to get from Norway to Canada!
The pictures on the blog are so realistic, it actually twirls like that!!! I took a 2-mile walk x-country and didn't have any problems with tripping on it. I haven't worn it around the horses, but I'll do an update after with more pictures around the horses. It's super practical and I can tell I won't have any problems mounting or riding. It's a wrap around skirt so it has an overlapping split for riding but still keeps you super warm. No buttons or zippers to break!!! i didn't take any pictures of the skirt in motion and couldn't attach the video. BTW this is the skirt that I settled on. https://klesarven.no/en/produkt/rideskjort-matilde/
