Key benefits
Ripstop Material + SilverTek® Technology
The RipGuard Adjusta-Fit® Fly Sheets are constructed from a special diamond interwoven 350D ripstop mesh x 600D soft-interlocking mesh that self-repairs snags, which can lead to larger tears. When you see a small snag occur, you simply rub the fabric back and forth between your fingers to repair the material. This sheet allows for airflow perfect for horses living in moderate to warm climates with the best insect protection against small to medium-sized biting insects, like gnats and flies.
A breathable 70D SilverTek® Nylon lining has been included on the front chest, shoulders, and tail flap. This technology has proven antibacterial properties that reduce rubs, odor, and irritations. When it comes into contact with bacteria or other microorganisms, the silver ions are released from the fabric, distributing their cell membranes and interfering with their metabolic processes. As a result, growth is inhibited, reducing the number of bacteria on the fabric’s surface. This keeps your horse healthier and the fabric cleaner, even after extended use and wear.
Pressure Relief on Moderate to Low-Withered Horses
This sheet is specifically designed for a comfortable fit. The reinforced gussets are positioned for optimal freedom of movement, allowing your horse to graze, roll, or run easily. Our Fitted V-Free® design is tailored to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on moderate to low withers. It’s an ideal fit for Arabians, Quarter Horses, Stock breeds, or horses with sloped shoulder conformation. The longer drop provides extra coverage, wrapping slightly around the barrel, while hip darts ensure a contoured fit around the rump. Starting where the mane ends, V-Free® sheets leave the mane uncovered, with fleece at the sheet’s edge to further protect against rubbing. Plus, our original 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.
Thoughtful Design and Secure Closures
This fly sheet is built with thoughtful features to make your horse more comfortable and your life easier. The open front design features double front buckles with new and improved wider hook and loop closures, allowing you to easily adjust the fly sheet for the perfect amount of "snugness" at the front of the chest. The bellyband closure provides that extra protection across their belly with a secure closure that prevents any poking or rubbing. It comes with detachable elastic leg straps that adjust up to 20-38” and keep the sheet in place while accommodating natural movement.
Safety in the Dark - Reflective Features
For extra safety precautions, we’ve added highly visible reflective stripes on the flanks and tail for extra visibility in low light and night turnout.
3-Year Limited Warranty
This fly sheet has been constructed with extra care and is under warranty for three years. Straps, surcingles, assembly, and hardware are guaranteed for the warranty term.
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.

Great product
"The fly sheet has performed great, and held up well in the elements!"
Fly sheet
"So far this sheet is holding up very well. I love that it has a 3yr warranty!"
It lasted longer than expected!
"My gelding is incredibly hard on his fly sheets! This one lasted longer than expected! About four months, which is a record for this horse. After that, I was able to use the warranty and get a brand new one. Thanks Schneiders for having quality products and standing by your warranties!"
EVERY HORSE OWNER NEEDS THIS SHEET!
"My mare is super allergic to the flies and this fly sheet works wonders for her! The bellyband is an absolute must if you have a horse that gets hives. 10/10 would recommend!!"
I will
"Absolutely love this product. I hope it holds up. I measured my mare at 80 but bought an 82 just in case and I should have stuck with the 80. Feel like it fits true to size but also had adjustable straps on the shoulders that are awesome."
Doesn't fit quite right
"I'm actually not very thrilled with this sheet. I have a stock type APHA cowhorse/reiner with a very typical, yet refined build. Nothing off about her conformation. This is the only V-Free sheet I've had that doest fit her correctly. I did order her correct size as well. The wither area tries to slide way far back behindher wither, putting alot of pressure on her shoulders and rubbing hair off, regardless if I adjust it as tight as possible or as loose as possible. On the tightest setting it exposes her chest as if the front portion was made too short. It's been very frustrating as its a good looking sheet. Also to add, the first one I had ordered ripped on day one on her stall door and it did not infact self repair by rubbing it together, it was not fixable. So I had ordered a replacement with the warranty. I don't use it though because it makes her shoulders raw and sits too tight in the chest. Hope that helps people!"
Great fly sheet, excellent fit and quality. WONDERFUL!
"Our horses are draft breed, and fabrics that are not robust tear from the movements of their muscles. This fly sheet was worth every penny. . . it fits PERFECTLY, and very effective! Well made! We are going to order 3 more for our other horses!"
