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"

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.
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.
Bellyband Closure Option for Extra Protection
The bellyband closure option protects from flies and midges biting along the sensitive underbelly. 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 Protection
Tail cover provides additional protection from flies attacking the sensitive area under tail. Lined with 70D breathable SilverTek® nylon silver thread that is antibacterial, reduces odor and skin issues that can causing itching and irritation through the summer months.
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.

How to Measure a Horse for a Blanket
The most accurate and easiest way to determine your horse’s blanket size is to measure along the side of their body, from chest to tail. First, stand the horse square on a flat surface. Measure from the center of the chest, straight back to the very edge of the tail. Make sure to measure along the widest part of their shoulder and hindquarters. The number of inches measured in this way is your horse’s size. Look on the size chart for any Schneiders blanket for this number of inches to order your horse’s perfect size.

Reviews
Runs very large!!
"This sheet is quite oversized, runs about 6” to big when I ordered same size winter blanket. I returned it for an exchange, however after almost 4 weeks after they received it, no message no replacement sheet. When I called turns out the sheet had been on back order for about 2 weeks. After all this I asked for a refund. I was never notified of it being on back order, and would have easily accepted another color. My horse has been wearing his old sheet that doesn’t stay on him very well… but at this point will do for this season. Maybe next year??"
Durable, good airflow, runs big
"These work really well in the Texas heat. They wear really well and do seem to have pretty good air flow. My only complaint is that they do seem to run rather large. My guy normally fits an 81 perfectly but in this style it is too big."
Ripstop Nylon Mesh II Attached Neck Euro Bellyband Fly Sheet
"Sheet has been on pastured horse for about four weeks and held up well in weather. He doesn’t seem to be too hot with the light lavender color. Fits well and covers a great deal of body so his sweet itch is much better this year."
Highly recommend!
"Great quality and loved the personalization ability! Highly recommend! True to size!"
"Fit is not great. Shoulders are not full enough and neck is halfway up their neck. Manes will rub out especially when its very long"
Great Fly Sheet
"Love this fly sheet for my pony. Fit is good and I especially like how the neck attaches to the sheet with stretchy fabric. Not too hot and does a nice job of keeping the flies from bothering him too much. I actually have two on these as I liked the first one so much I bought a second for pony #2."
"Only fly sheet ill every buy! They last so well i only have to replace them every 3-5 years. They are outstanding! High quality"
Schneiders ripstop nylon mesh ll euro surcingle fly sheet
"Light weight. Good coverage. Measures accurately. Perfect for the hot, humid summer days! Schneiers brand items never disappoint."
Fly Sheet
"Love this sheet! I have a few styles and this is my favorite. Lightweight, airy and excellent fit! I also love the simple design and optional matching fly boots and fly mask. My girls are easy on their clothes but I’d imagine this would hold up well if you have a rough pasture mate."
