With this fly sheet with an adjustable surcingle closure, you’ll have the added confidence that your horse will be more comfortable during the summer. It’s constructed from a 300D textured, shiny, reflective nylon mesh that allows for the greatest amount of airflow. The absence of side seams reduces the likelihood of rips or tears in those areas, and the contour back seam provides a better fit and increased comfort for the horse. It includes reflective stripes for safety and SilverTek® technology with antibacterial nylon lining on the chest, shoulders, and tail. It protects your horse from small to medium-sized insects, such as gnats and flies, while providing 40% UV protection.
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 an extremely breathable material while providing durable protection from biting insects and the sun. Don’t forget your matching neck cover!
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.
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.
The criss-cross surcingle closure adjusts to keep the fly sheet from sliding side to side. Comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.

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.

"I’ve bought quite a few different brands of fly sheets for my herd of 6 and these are my favorite they fit everyone well and hold up to full turnout with a playful gelding and a dragon of a mare. Plus they go on sale at least once a season!"
"I bought one of these sheets because I wanted a lighter weight sheet to use during this humid weather. This sheet is that & more. I love the weight, the design, & the added features like the reflective strips. I liked it so much I immediately ordered another for my other horse & am looking to add a third. So far it seems well made & holding up well. I definitely recommend it!"
"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"
"Fairly hardy sheet that resists big tears. Cooler than most and my horses stay pretty comfy up to 100 degrees as we have bad flies. Only issue I am having is that the exterior binding holding on leg strap Dee rings catches and rips out tail hairs on its square corners that atip out"
"I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this fly sheet. I must say, it lives up to the "hype"! Fits very nice, true to size, light weight and we love the color! Seems very durable comparable to others I have seen. My guy HATES bugs but also runs hotter and he wears this on days it is 82 and lower comfortably. Thank you Schneiders!"
"fit is great. color is great and my mare is loving not having flies on her when she is turned out. Each of my horses have one. This is my 4th one in 5 years only one has need a minor repair and none have been replaced!"
"It’s a nice mesh fly sheet, light enough for my hot Nevada summers. I’m not liking the way it fits my mustangs chest area as it gaps near the top area on both sides. I’ve tried it at different tightness on the chest straps and it still does it. For my horse I wouldn’t buy it again."
"I like the flysheets that hold some shape off of the horse for some breathability - hard to find but I think this one will do it. And I needed a belly band, and love the removable neck cover option. My old guy seems to have Insect Hypersensitivity, so whatever I can do / put on him to get him out of his stall comfortably in the Summer!"
"Good airflow. I live in a hot humid climate and this fly sheet does not make them sweaty underneath. I bought it mainly for the belly band and that works as expected. The material is very sturdy and very breathable. It is true to size as well."
"I have tried many, many different brands and types of flysheets and this one is honestly better than most. Made of pretty sturdy material yet breathable. Easy to put on and take off and covers the body well."
