Key benefits

This fly sheet is the best for insect protection and airflow.

All About the VTEK® Wither Relief Fit

Our VTEK ® Wither Relief fly sheets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on moderate to high withers. The upright shoulder and shape over the withers are designed to fit Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Appendix horses, or those with upright shoulder conformation. It includes an extended drop to cover a deeper heartgirth and they are shaped with darts at the hips to give a more contoured fit around the rump. Extends 6 to 8 inches onto the mane with fleece placed where the mane meets the sheet, further preventing rubbing.

Fly Fit Guide

Adjusta-Fit® Your Sheet for the Perfect Fit!

From the widest Warmblood to the narrowest Thoroughbred, 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. The Adjust-Fit® feature runs along the neckline of the blanket, so when in use, it lifts the front chest, pulling the blanket up into the base of the neck. It allows you to fit any width or head carriage, saving money and time when blanketing your horses.

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

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.

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.

Bellyband Closure for Better Protection

The bellyband closure option protects from flies and midges biting along the sensitive underbelly. Brass-plated hardware is positioned to avoid rubbing or poking while your horse is lying down, and the t-post hardware on the bellyband closure includes locking bands and incorporates elastic inserts for more give as the horse moves since the proper fit is with the bellyband snug and flush to the belly.

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® 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 brass-plated snaps for easy on and off.

2-Year Limited Warranty

This fly sheet has been constructed with extra care and is under warranty for two years. Straps, surcingles, assembly, and hardware are guaranteed for the warranty term.

Reviews

Excellent fly sheet

"This is the second fly sheet, exact same model I have purchased. While my mare is typically good to not destroy her "clothes", they have lasted between 3 and 4 summers. That's great durability. Also!! I have witnessed on two separate occasions horse flies trying to bite through the fly sheets and failing. The horses didn't even realized a horse fly had landed on them. Schneiders doesn't advertise this benefit but it is real and how grateful I am for it. This is the only fly sheet for me."

— Dana H. (5/5)

Bug free and well fitting

"This fits my big Appendix mare and her neck and shoulders well, no rubs. She gets welts from bug bites and this helps significantly. No welts where she is covered. Very lightweight, great color. No rips so far. I would love if the tail flap was almost twice as long."

— JENNIE L. (5/5)

Disappointed With the Quality and Fit

"I carefully measured my horse according to the sizing instructions, but this sheet still does not fit properly through her large shoulders. I am also disappointed with the overall quality. I have owned older Schneiders fly sheet styles that fit better, felt more durable, and were much better made. Unfortunately, this newer style does not compare, and I would not purchase it again."

— Julia (1/5)

This is by far the

"This is by far the best fly sheet combo I have purchased. Very lightweight and I love the belly band . The neck piece is fastened so well and the coverage is perfect. It also washes up very well. 5 stars for me on this one !"

— KAREN C. (5/5)

Best fly sheet around

"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."

— Heidi Y. (5/5)

Best Fly Sheet Ever

"I love this fly sheet, it has protection for my horses shoulder, is lightweight and breathable, yet durable and mostly rip proof. It fits super well, and has many adjusments to make for the perfect fit and best feature is the way the neck piece is attached it is a strethy material that allows for movement but without exposing any area to flies, great - great sheet!"

— Ruth A. (5/5)

Full coverage fly sheet with neck

"The coverage is perfect it's light weight for the summer heat and she seems to feel much better not having hives on her! She looks stunning in the fly sheet and seems to really enjoy not being so attacked by flys and mosquitos anymore."

— Madison H. (5/5)

Belly band doesn’t fit

"I should have read all the negative reviews. Seems like they are aware of the belly band issue. I have no problems with the fit of other blankets in her usual size but this one doesn’t let me close the belly band even fully extended. My horse is not overweight. Company won’t let me return it because I wrote on the tag, even though the blanket is unused and clean. Very disappointing."

— J G. (1/5)

Review Sheet

"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."

— Sheri F. (5/5)

100000/10 recommend

"Fits so good, is breathable in the hot Texas heat. Doesn’t rub shoulders or the mane out. And it’s pretty to look at!"

— Jayde O. (5/5)
