These heavy-duty waterproof turnout blankets and sheets allow your horse to stay comfortable and dry no matter how rough they play out in the pasture. Aridity™ Bamboo Charcoal inner layer wicks moisture away from the horse, keeping them more comfortable during temperature changes. Detachable tail cover with double hook & loop closures acts as a better wind and rain barrier. Extended gussets with 3M reflective patches and tail stripe for added visibility at dusk or for night turnout.

Key benefits

Fitted V-Free® Pressure Free Wither

Patented Fitted V-Free® blankets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on moderate to low withers. They are uniquely designed to fit Arabians, Quarter Horses, Stock breed horses or those with Sloped Shoulder Conformation. The drop on these blankets are longer than a stable blanket to allow a slight wrap around the barrel. Darts at the hip form a contoured fit around the rump. V-Free® blankets begin where the mane ends, leaving the mane uncovered.

If you need a blanket designed to fit Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Appendix horses, or those with Upright Shoulder Conformation try our VTEK® Pressure Free Wither version of this blanket.

If you need a blanket designed to fit Arabians, Morgans, Friesians, Saddlebreds, Tennessee Walkers, or any horse with Upright Head Carriage try our Cutback version of this blanket.

Adjusta-Fit®- Adjusts for Your Perfect Fit!

From wide to narrow, high head carriage to low, the patented Adjusta-Fit® system customizes the neck opening to fit any horse width or head carriage. This unique feature is what allows the same sheet to fit both a wide Warmblood and a narrow Thoroughbred.

Our exclusive Aridity inner lining contains a layer of bamboo charcoal, an anti-bacterial, anti-microbial fabric which absorbs odors and wicks moisture away from your horse's sensitive skin.

Bellyband Closure Provides Greater Protection

Amazing Blanket

"I absolutely love my ARMORFlex Warrior II blanket! It’s perfect for the colder weather where I live—not too heavy, but warm enough to keep my horse comfortable during chilly days and nights. One of my favorite features is the Adjusta-Fit bellyband. It’s incredibly easy to adjust and fasten, which makes putting the blanket on quick and hassle-free. Overall, I’m very happy with the quality, fit, and comfort it provides."

Schneiders customer service is second

"Schneiders customer service is second to none! Buy with confidence knowing they stand behind their products! Could not be more pleased and will remain a loyal customer!"

Great blanket

"I have been a loyal Schnieders blanket buyer for years. This blanket is just as good as the others I have bought. Holds up well to rough play!"

Rylei C. (5/5)

These blankets are the best ever!

"I’ve got a small herd of 7 horses in Texas, and these blankets are my absolute favorite. My oldest one is four years old and still looks new. The material is super sturdy, the fill is amazing, and it doesn’t rub my most sensitive mare the wrong way. When I need another blanket, this is all I’m buying."

Jessica M. (5/5)

Armorflex Warrior- thumbs up

"I've bought several Armorflex Warrior blankets in midweight and heavyweight over the past few years. They're extremely well built with quality durable material and great design features. I tend to be a belly band user. They give my thin coated Arabs a little more coverage, they always come in warm from turnout. They look great, they function even better, and I haven't had one tore up by other horses during turnout yet."

Scott L. (5/5)

horse blanket

"This is a sturdy, and warm blanket for an active horse. The blue is a beautiful color, too!"

V Free Wither Relief Blanket

"I could not be happier with the V Fee Wither Relief line of blankets. My 17. 2 hand Draft Cross has a long, sloping shoulder and no other blanket seems to fit him correctly. With the V Free, the blanket stays in place, doesn’t rub out his mane, and doesn’t seem to restrict his grazing. He is out 24/7 and I expect this blanket with last through multiple winters. Highly recommend this blanket."

JEAN G. (5/5)

I love Schneiders blankets because

"I love Schneiders blankets because they are well made and fit my Arabian like it was custom made for her. They are tough and last. I wouldn’t use anything else. Really like the belly band. Can’t say enough good things about these blankets."

Ruthann F. (5/5)
