How do I know this fly sheet is right for my horse?

When choosing a fly sheet for your horse, the key considerations should include fabric breathability and durability, insect and UV protection needed depending on turnout needs. This sheet is right for your horse if you’re looking for a fly sheet that self-repairs against small snags, blocks UV rays, and protects against flies.

Our Senior VTEK ® Wither Relief fly sheets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on your senior horse. The unique upward lift between the blanket and point of the withers allows for space, with memory foam padding to fill in gaps that senior horses have between the base of their neck and shoulders, as well as padding at their hip bones, to eliminate rubbing and sores. It includes an extended coverage over the shoulder and withers for comfort and extends 6 to 8 inches onto the mane with fleece placed where the mane meets the sheet, further preventing rubbing.

The open front design features double front buckles 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 buckles 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. Comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.
