Key benefits

A Fly Sheet with the BEST UV Protection

This sheet offers your horse the best UV protection. It's constructed with a 300D soft and comfortable polyester mesh material with an 80% UV protection rating. It allows for ample airflow for those horses that live in warm climates and insect protection against small to medium-sized insects, such as gnats and flies. So, if you're looking for a fly sheet to protect your horse from damaging UV rays, this fly sheet is perfect!

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.

Fly Fit Guide

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 for Extra Protection

The bellyband closure option protects from flies and midges biting along the sensitive underbelly. Chrome-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® nylon 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 chrome-plated snaps for easy on and off.

Reviews

Very Poor Fitting Fly Sheet

"Unfortunately, this fly sheet did not fit my horse. I ordered the same size I have always ordered for my horse for YEARS from Schneiders. I had just ordered a blanket in March in the same size which fit perfectly. Why would I think this flysheet would not fit? I have ordered 3 flysheets in the past which were fine. When I contacted Schneiders about this sheet they asked me to send pictures of the sheet against the old flysheet which I did. Their response? These 2 sheets are different and will not fit the same. How was I supposed to know that before I ordered it. They even said this fly sheet might be a size or two too large for her. Recommendation? A flysheet that cost $275. They kept apologizing for my inconvenience. How about the money that I threw away on this sheet? Needless to say, after years of purchasing blankets, sheets etc. from Schneiders I am through with this company. This is no way to treat a years' long customer."

— Eileen D. (1/5)

neck opening too large

"The overall workmanship is very good. The problem is that the neck opening is huge relative to the size of the sheet. So, it does not fit like the photo - instead it closed very low on the chest, or you can pull it behind the wither. Neither is a good choice. Since the purpose of buying the sheet was to cover her chest from the allergy caused by the gnats, it does not work for me."

— ANDREA M. (3/5)

Doc’s new sheet

"I love the mosquito mesh sheet! Flies, not mosquitoes , are my biggest concern and this sheet covers him and the problem perfectly. Doc recently got bitten in the face by a rattlesnake and spent 5 days in the hospital getting anti venom and recovering. It was a happy day when I could turn him out again with his best buddy in his new sheet. He’s healthy again and his coat looks beautiful. Thanks, Schneiders, for covering both of my boys!"
