All About the V-Free® Wither Relief Fit
"
Our V-Free® Wither Relief fly sheets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on low to moderate-withered horses. With the larger neck opening and sloped neck line that covers the shoulders, this fit is designed specifically for Arabians, Quarter Horses, Stock breed horses, or those with sloped shoulder conformation. The drop on these sheets is longer than a stable sheet, allowing a slight wrap around the barrel. Darts at the hip form a contoured fit around the rump. V-Free® Wither Relief sheets begin where the mane ends, leaving the mane uncovered with fleece placed where the mane meets the sheet, further preventing rubbing.
"
Adjusta-Fit® Your Sheet for the Perfect Fit!
From the widest Warmblood to the narrowest Thoroughbred, our patented Adjusta-Fit® system allows you to customize the fit of the neck opening to fit any horse. Whether your horse is wide or narrow or has a high or low head carriage doesn't matter. This unique feature allows you to fit any width or head carriage, saving money and time when blanketing your horses.
An Open Front Design with Front Snaps for Easy On and Off
The open front design features double front snaps with hook and loop closures, allowing you to easily adjust the fly sheet for the perfect amount of “snugness” at the front of the chest. Plus, the snaps make it easy to put on and remove.
Shoulder Area Designed to Prevent Rubs
The shoulder and chest area is lined with 70D breathable nylon that keeps hair slick and prevents rubbing.
Better Gusset Design for Additional Freedom
The reinforced gussets extend higher and more forward to allow a greater range of motion when your horse is getting up from lying down, walking, or playing in the pasture.
Criss-Cross Surcingle Closure for Better Protection
The criss-cross surcingle closure option adjusts to keep the fly sheet from sliding side to side. Comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.
Large Tail Cover for Extra Protection
The extra-long tail cover provides additional protection from flies attacking the sensitive area underneath the tail.
Reflective Patches to Find Your Horse in the Dark
Easily locate your horse when it’s dark outside with the highly reflective 3M patches placed strategically on the rear flanks and tail cover.
Leg Straps Included
Set the sheet at the optimum snugness with the included detachable leg straps that help keep the sheet in place. They adjust from 20” to 38” and stretch as the horse moves with double brass-plated snaps for easy on and off.

How to Measure a Horse for a Blanket
The most accurate and easiest way to determine your horse’s blanket size is to measure along the side of their body, from chest to tail. First, stand the horse square on a flat surface. Measure from the center of the chest, straight back to the very edge of the tail. Make sure to measure along the widest part of their shoulder and hindquarters. The number of inches measured in this way is your horse’s size. Look on the size chart for any Schneiders blanket for this number of inches to order your horse’s perfect size.

Fit my Foundation QH perfectly!
"I have a very stocky foundation QH and this sheet fits him perfectly!"
Great fly sheet
"Durable, effective fly and UV protection for my horse with insect bite sensitivity. He wears it 24/7 with no rubs. It's too hot to use in the FL summer, but perfect the rest of the year. Keeps his coat beautiful and works perfectly with the matching neck cover to keep his mane smooth as well."
Perfect for draft
"Bought it for next summer so i havent tried it yet but if it is anything like draft turnout sheet and turnout blanket it will be perfect for my draft cross"
Lightweight, Effective
"My draft cross sweats under other fly sheets. The Mosquito Mesh fly sheet solved our problem. It's very effective AND lightweight with good airflow. Fits him very nicely. Thanks for an excellent product."
My Horse Isnt Overheating!
"Sturdy construction??? and my horse isn t overheating wearing it in the day here in Hawai i. This is my 4th try to get a breathable mesh fly blanket and this is by far the best!"
An awesome product.
"Kept the bugs off and my boys cool in the very humid summer we had."
Fabulous fit and stay in place!
"Big Fella & VTek are fantastic when you own horses that are 18+ hands and tip the scale at 1800-200#. Both my Percheron and giant Warmblood are so much happier during night turn out, now that they have mosquito mesh!"
Best Mosquito Sheet!
"I love these mosquito sheets from Schneider's!! The quality is great and they're the perfect weight for Florida. Both of my horses have worn them without complaints???? and they can stand up to turnout conditions while keeping the bugs off."
I would buy this fly sheet again
"Material is excellent and lightweight yet durable. Fits our horse well and is easy to put on/off. Great deal to buy on sale."
