When the gnats are out, a fly sheet is only as good as its weave.

This fly sheet is the best for insect protection and airflow. The 350D extra fine “window screen” nylon mesh protects against the widest range of biting insects, such as tiny gnats, mosquitos, and flies.

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 neckline 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.
The open front option features double front snaps 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 snaps make it easy to put on and remove.
The criss-cross surcingle closure option adjusts to keep the fly sheet from sliding side to side. Brass-plated hardware comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.

"I’ve had trouble finding an effective flysheet that does not hold water if there’s a pop-up shower and does not overheat my horse. This fly sheet checks all the boxes- it’s super effective against biting flies and mosquitoes, fits really well and does not shift, does not overheat my horse. And easily sheds water. Worth every penny."
"This flysheet is strong but light; and the features really help fit my Paso Fino. No other brand has worked as well as this one! And if there’s any issue, this company stands behind their product."
"I am satisfied with my mesh blanket. I have ordered them before, they seem to make my horse a little cooler. My horse destroyed it within two days and she is in a pasture by her self, but I had it replaced and I was really satisfied, even with the new color. It is good quality."
"Finding a good fit for my 15. 1 hand Oldenburg mare who's built a bit like a Quarter horse is challenging. Blankets and sheets tend to ride back and pull hard across her chest. Her previous Weatherbeeta sheet fit well otherwise but was super tight right where her neck met her shoulder and it put a lot of pressure there. That can't be comfortable or healthy! Two things that could be improved: The velcro at the front of the chest is a little small or wimpy. Sometimes when the staff at the boarding barn put it on and don't line it up very carefully, it comes undone right away. Second, the tail cover sticks straight out the back so it's a little hard to know if it's providing much protection. It's just a bit awkward. Final note: there are a lot of metal rings on this setup that jingle when she walks. Not necessarily a problem but just something to know."
"The Mosquito Mesh II Fly Sheet is the best fly sheet on the market. It is lightweight, very durable, and gives great protection from insects. We tried many different brands of fly sheets and hands down this is my favorite."
"I have a gelding very sensitive to bugs, especially mosquitoes. And unfortunately due to circumstances out of my control, we’re going to be moving from the best, lovely dry climate to a swampy mess of humidity and bugs. So I wanted to find him something before we get there. I love the fit, true to size, and it’s the first fly sheet that I’ve seen that I feel confident he’s not going to overheat in. On top of the fit, fabric, and construction I think it looks pretty nice too. Only thing I find odd is the tail cover. It’s huge. And it poofs out so far in the back that it just seems like a waste of time ; bugs can easily still be up in his tail. Maybe a little less fabric is needed for that… idk?? Looks like he’s got an awning off the back of his butt. Not sure what the design was supposed to do but besides that the sheet is great."
"Finally, an effective fly sheet that is light-weight. Great fit, true to size. The adjustable front buckles easily accomodate any type of neck-sternum thickness."
"Love them ! I have two of them ! If I could afford three more for the rest of my herd o will get same kind!"
"I called Schneiders to discuss if they made a fly sheet to fit a Connemara that was built like the older lines of quarter horses. In essence a stocky horse. So I purchased the sheet and hood last summer and the velcro will not stay together and the sheet slides back and velcro comes apart on top of putting pressure on his shoulders when moving and grazing. In addition when it comes apart the rough part of the velcro rubs my horse’s shoulder. So I tried using the 1st D ring but it was not an option as the sheet would remain open under neck if it was used. The sheet is very sturdy but doesn’t fit a stocky horse unless he’s a statute that never moves. Also the velcro on the hood will not stay closed either when hooked to a halter or not. If I buy a larger size I feel it would just slide back and again be in the same situation. Disappointed for sure as I have always liked Schneider’s products."
"Appears to be a well made fly sheet with great protection. It was purchased for a warmblood that is allergic to just about every bug possible. Hopefully this will help."
