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.

"This is the third fly sheet like this that I have purchased. They are absolutely the best for keeping all bugs away from the horses. The fit is perfect for my Saddlebreds. The only complaint I have is that the tail cover is rubbing one horses tail quite badly. Other than this, the sheets are perfect!!"
"Fits well and keeps the biting bugs off my gelding. However, for the price I would expect better snaps. Not even one season of use and the snaps are corroding and/or rusting. Very dissappointed in this."
"No matter how I adjust the neck on this fly sheet it cuts into my horses throat. The material seems ok but the opening for the neck needs an angle change. When horses put their head down to eat it gets way too tight. And if you loosen it then the fly sheet just slides further back and causes the same issue but worse."
"This is a great fly sheet for protection and durability. My gelding has been wearing his for 3 summers, and is very hyper-sensitive to bug bites. It gives him great relief."
"My Arab -Welsh cross is a tiny lad with Fabio hair. This is the only fly sheet that's good quality and that fits his short back! Held up well for one season. We'll see how this next season goes."
"This fly sheet really does the job for my horses. It keeps h the e flies and mosquitoes off"
"I have bought winter turn out blankets, fly sheets and masks. They are all great quality and ship fast. Great company!"
"Long lasting and comfortable. We liked the first one we bought so much, we bought a second. My horses mane tends to get thin so, the cutback style fit perfects and looks great. And the fabric is tough- no rip or tears even after rolling."
"This fly sheet is a great overall value. I just bought a second one, so I always have a clean sheet ready to go. The mesh fabric is durable yet soft, and allows a good amount of airflow. I really appreciate the details of this product: the lining at the shoulders ensures it doesn’t rub, quality snaps for easy on and off, the deep gusset above the front legs, wide tail coverage, sturdy straps. The cutback design gives our mare plenty of room without restriction. Our mare isn’t destructive with her sheets but I feel good knowing this well designed flysheet will last more than one season. As an added bonus, we received a free 32oz bottle of Odor Eliminator, which does a wonderful job getting the horsey stink out of saddle pads and even our riding clothes. We love Schneider’s because the offer quality products that really work, at a fair price."
"This sheet is not breathable as advertised. With 1. 5h of grazing my horse was steaming and wet from trapped sweat under the sheet. Of course, he rolled in it so I cannot return it even if he only wore it for 1. 5h. Big waste of money."
