Key benefits

The Best Fly Sheet for Airflow - Keeping Your Horse Comfortable

This sheet offers your horse the best airflow, keeping them comfortable and cool during the hot summer months. The textured, shiny, reflective nylon mesh is breathable and durable for light play, with a 40% UV protection rating. Ripstop fabric is woven using a crosshatch pattern with thicker threads interwoven at regular intervals. This design prevents small tears or holes from expanding and helps enhance the material's overall strength. When your horse is wearing this sheet, they’ll be protected from small to medium-sized biting insects, such as gnats and flies. So, next time you turn your horse out, you’ll know they’re nice and comfortable.

All About the Euro Fit

Our Euro fly sheets fit straight from the withers through the back that’s designed to drape comfortably and adapts to most breeds and conformations. The sheet comes up 4–6 inches onto the mane, fully covering the shoulders and withers. The Euro fly sheets also have extra comfortable fleece at the withers to prevent rubbing.

Fly Material and Fit Guide

An Open Front Design with Front Buckles for Easy On and Off

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. Plus, the buckles make it easy to put on and remove.

SilverTek® Lined Chest, Shoulders, and Tail

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 that may cause your horse discomfort during the hot summer months. 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.

Better Gusset Design for Additional Freedom

The reinforced gussets extend higher and more forward to allow a greater range of motion when your horse gets up from lying down, walking, or playing in the pasture.

Adjustable Surcingle Belly Closure

The criss-cross surcingle closure adjusts to keep the fly sheet from sliding side to side. Comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.

SilverTek™ Lined Extra-Large Tail Cover for Extra Protection

The extra-large tail cover protects from flies attacking the sensitive area underneath the tail. The added SilverTek® nylon lining reduces potential hair breakage, keeping your horse’s tail fuller and looking better!

Reflective Stripes for Added Safety

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.

Leg Straps Included

Set the sheet at the optimum snugness with the included detachable elastic leg straps that help keep the sheet in place. They adjust from 20" to 38" and stretch as the horse moves with double chrome-plated snaps for easy on and off.

Reviews

Fantastic sheet - outstanding customer service!

"As usual, Schneider's customer service does not fail to deliver. I originally ordered the closed front sheet thinking a buckle chest would be too tight especially if kept on overnight. Customer service first walked me through on the phone to be sure I had the right size. I then tried it on mare and they suggested I send photos to see if it was for sure the right size. After a few photos, they suggested I go with the Ripstop sheet as it seemed like that would be a better fit for my mare's conformation. I was still concerned about the tightness in the front. I returned the closed front sheet and am now using the Ripstop! I've been super happy with it and don't worry about any tightness in the chest! It was a less expensive sheet as well, thanks as usual to the customer service crew."

— Laura M. (5/5)

Durable fly sheets that fit well!

"I’ve bought quite a few different brands of fly sheets for my herd of 6 and these are my favorite they fit everyone well and hold up to full turnout with a playful gelding and a dragon of a mare. Plus they go on sale at least once a season!"

— Robin G. (5/5)

Fly sheets with belly band

"Don't like fabric, very ruff. It is slightly cooler and really like belly band. Adjustment across the chest is not as wide as I would like. Overall I wouldn't buy this particular one again like the fabric in one I bought last year much better. That one I can easily wet down and put on for a cool down."

— SANDRA P. (3/5)

Never even got my package

"I bought three fly sheets, on purple and two teals. Never got the teal ones. Purple came pretty fast. I even reached out and asked about the two sheets that were missing and was told they were on back order and would be shipped in a couple of days. Haven’t gotten anything back and it’s been two months."

— Emma S. (1/5)

Good Sheet

"I bought one of these sheets because I wanted a lighter weight sheet to use during this humid weather. This sheet is that & more. I love the weight, the design, & the added features like the reflective strips. I liked it so much I immediately ordered another for my other horse & am looking to add a third. So far it seems well made & holding up well. I definitely recommend it!"

— Lisa S. (5/5)

Fantastic

"Took me a bit to try the sheet on as my new rescue was weary 😜 but slowly we did it and it fits perfectly! Maybe a lil warm underneath after wearing for 30min in the field but it’s definitely more airy than others"

— Brittany F. (5/5)

Hold up better than most and cooler

"Fairly hardy sheet that resists big tears. Cooler than most and my horses stay pretty comfy up to 100 degrees as we have bad flies. Only issue I am having is that the exterior binding holding on leg strap Dee rings catches and rips out tail hairs on its square corners that atip out"

— JENNA M. (5/5)

Our first fly sheet

"I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this fly sheet. I must say, it lives up to the "hype"! Fits very nice, true to size, light weight and we love the color! Seems very durable comparable to others I have seen. My guy HATES bugs but also runs hotter and he wears this on days it is 82 and lower comfortably. Thank you Schneiders!"

— Kylie B. (5/5)

fit is great. color is

"fit is great. color is great and my mare is loving not having flies on her when she is turned out. Each of my horses have one. This is my 4th one in 5 years only one has need a minor repair and none have been replaced!"

— KRYSTAL B. (5/5)

Nice blanket.

"It’s a nice mesh fly sheet, light enough for my hot Nevada summers. I’m not liking the way it fits my mustangs chest area as it gaps near the top area on both sides. I’ve tried it at different tightness on the chest straps and it still does it. For my horse I wouldn’t buy it again."

— Barbara D. (4/5)
