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 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.

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 kinda went back and forth on this fly sheet for rating. I really wanted to like the high gussets and the high neck, but the fit just wasn’t there. On all my horses the high neck slid back and got stuck behind the withers and the front got tight and started rubbing the chest. I had bought a few of these in different sizes so I tried the different sizes and they all did that on all my horses. So I ended up giving these away. The material and workmanship was really good though."
"In the southwest it gets a little warm. Ou horse is sensitive to insects that cause him to have hivs. We have tried 3-4 different Schneider fly sheets and they are all good. This model has the best coverage and is the coolest. Only downside is side is the Velcro stick to everything."
"This is a great sheet! The durability is on point for a soft mesh fly sheet and I love the quality! Super nice but the next day, the fabric snagged on the Velcro and it got all messed up. The sheet also slips easily even when i adjust it to how it fits my horse. I wish it didn’t snag the fabric though."
"My leopard POA has extremely sensitive skin and sunburns very easily all over her body. We used to leave her inside during the day. But now she can go out all the time. She doesn't get sweaty and the sun is blocked. The material is very lightweight, durable and breathable. Just bought our second one. The first one lasted six years of constant use with only one repaired tear. Love Schneider's Tack and all their products."
"This isn’t my first time purchasing the soft mesh fly sheet, and I’ve continued to choose it because it fits my horses beautifully year after year."
"This is a good quality fly sheet but runs a little large. Personally, I wish I would’ve ordered a size down for my petite Arabian. I had to make some adjustments so it would sit up higher on her chest and shoulders. Overall would recommend but probably will get a more adjustable next time I need a fly sheet."
"i always have an awful time finding fly sheets that fit right in the chest and this sheet is one of the best i’ve ever tried!"
"This is my second purchase of this fly sheet. The first one I puchased lasted 3 years with my horse wearing it in the timber and leaning over fences. Fly sheets from other brands barely made it through one fly season. These fit well and are easy to wash in your home washing machine."
"Rips easy, thin material that works would not buy again. Will work for one summer if lucky. Horse it’s on is not crazy and middle of pack."
"Bought two for my little ladies and am actually impressed with the quality. Very nice. Fits well enough over the shoulder. Good quality material. Happy ponies."
