Extra Coverage Euro Fit Guide Designed with our Extra Coverage Euro fit, this blanket accommodates both sloped and upright shoulder conformations and adds an attached neck for coverage from ears to tail, well suited for horses with a low to flat shorter wither, balanced muscle tone, and a smoother, flatter topline. Measure chest to tail, along the side of the body across the widest part of the shoulder and hindquarters. If you land between sizes, size up — a snug fit causes pinching and rubs.

What Horse Owners Are Saying

★★★★★
My poor boy just doesn’t grow a winter coat on his hind end, so I needed to buy some blankets that would last and keep him warm in our frigid temperatures in northern Michigan. These blankets are the BEST! They hold up for years of use! I have several in different weights for the season changes. And the belly band option is a nice touch for overall comfort for my horse.

There is nothing that beats the quality & value & warranty of a Schneider blanket! My horse has 3 Schneider blankets! And I just ordered another one today! The StormShield Classic II Attached Neck 220 grams of fill has been absolutely wonderful this cold Ohio winter. I even leave it on for the coldest of nights—I sleep much better knowing he’s as snug as a bug in his Schneider rug!!!

★★★★★
I needed a warm blanket for my horse with Cushings as he had several winter laminitis episodes. The blanket I bought is perfect as it is nice and long, covers his belly and fully covers his chest. Also, I called customer service as it was slipping off to the side and the very kind and helpful person gave me good ideas on how to make it fit better so it doesn’t slip. Great service over all!!!! Thank you!

Reviews

Does the job well.

"The first one I received did not hold up at all. The waterproofing failed almost immediately. Schneiders replaced it right away and this one seems to be holding up just fine. We do not generally get very warm, so this is a good weight for most of the time. Fit is pretty good although it's tough to keep up with my horse's body changes. I still like my Amigos and Rambos but if you need a good solid blanket for a less than astronomical price, this is a good choice. And it comes in pink, which is a HUGE bonus! I always know where she is in the field."

— LYNN (4/5)

High Quality Blanket!

"I love this blanket. I can feel the quality just by touching it. It’s nice and thick with some heft. It hasn’t been cold enough to use the medium weight yet, and I’ll only be using it when it gets to extreme temps. My horse is unclipped and sweats very easily so for the most part I’ll be using his lightweight, but I’m positive this will keep him warm when it gets in the teens or even negative temperatures, plus I can easily layer it with the lightweight if I need to. It fits well and is easy to adjust- he has a high neck carriage and it’s perfect for him. He also looks very handsome in it which is nice because he’s very vain! I cannot find a single fault. I don’t have a picture of him wearing it but this photo is for reference to his body type. He’s 15 hh and lean. He’s still growing and this blanket will give him room when he fills out more."

— Jodee W. (5/5)

Best turnout sheet we have

"The stormshield turnout sheet is simply the best sheet we have in our barn. We use it on our young thoroughbred gelding and despite his best efforts, the sheet stays in place and keeps him nice and dry and warm in the cool fall weather here in the mountains of Colorado. The original color is an ordered was backordered and Schneiders was absolutely perfect to work with on finding a replacement color. Cannot recommend both the blanket and Schneiders more highly."

— Matt H. (5/5)

Classic HighNeck sheet, A++

"Great blanket. Has held up for multiple seasons and is still keeping my horses dry. Hard playing Warmbloods and TBs, still no rips or tears. Am. Uying the same blanket again this season for a new arrival."

— Caitlin (5/5)

Keep the rain and cold away with this cozy blankie

"As always Schneider fit guide worked out well and the fit is great. Ill use this for wet, cold season before snow and subzero temps arrive. Great quality, sizing perfect."

— Valerie (5/5)

this is my favorite blanket

"This is truly my FAVORITE blanket ever!!!! I bought one for my mare last year, and now I’m getting another one for my new mare! Seriously, THE BEST! ❤️ Once you have a blanket with a belly wrap, you’ll never want to go back. I’ll never buy another blanket without one again!"

— Nicole P. (5/5)

Heavy duty & fits well

"Love these. The higher level sheet, Extreme II, with 1680 denier is pretty tough and holds up well. The design fits a variety of horses. The colors on the 1680d are also fancier with more of a sheen. They are heavier than the other version, in case that's useful to know. These are our go to blankets, in any weight. But we have been really disappointed that in the last few years, Schneiders has used cheapened/ lower quality items for the belly straps & metal clips. They are now very lightweight, so flop around more, making them harder to adjust and clip, outside in the wind. More importantly, now they are too slick, so they belt straps often loosen overnight, which represents a safety issue for getting a leg hung up. I wish they would fix this. Sometimes the leg straps are barely long enough. Happy to pay the few extra dollars they must save using these, to go back to the quality they were before."

— JENNIFER (5/5)

The color is way off.

"The color is way off. The photo makes it look like a rust/orange. It’s not. It is definitely just plain brown. The 82 seems bigger than other brands, but the 80 was too tight in the shoulder. Customer service is friendly but they seem to not ship out until inquire back about the status of my order. This has happened 3 times now"

— Lisa J. (5/5)

StormShield Contour Collar

"The fit is great and my horse seems very comfortable in it. The outer garment is quite durable but the lining ripped after about a month for some reason (which didn't seem to have anything to do with an external stressor of any kind). After repair, it washed up quite nicely. The outside still looks like a new turnout. We'll be using it again this winter."

— Linda (4/5)

Rain sheet

"The material used to make this rainsheet is sturdy and well made. Viewing and placing the order for the sheet was easy and quick. I recommend all horse owners to shop Schneider's for all their horse's needs!"

— Cheryl G. (5/5)
