Key benefits
Our Most Durable Fly Sheet Available
This is one of our most durable fly sheets, designed to hold up to your most playful horse! Made of our toughest 1000 heavy polyvinyl-coated mesh fabric, we consider this the “workhorse of fly sheets”. Not only does it withstand the demands of turnout while providing 70% UV protection, but it’s also proven effective against medium to large biting insects, such as deer flies, greenheads, and horse flies. The durable open-weave mesh material also allows natural airflow to flow, so your horse stays cool in the sun.
Patented Fitted V-Free® Pressure Free Wither
Our V-Free® Wither Relief fly sheets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on low to moderate-withered horses. With the larger neck opening and sloped neck line that covers the shoulders, this fit is designed specifically for Arabians, Quarter Horses, Stock breed horses, or those with sloped shoulder conformation. The drop on these sheets is longer than a stable sheet, allowing a slight wrap around the barrel. Darts at the hip form a contoured fit around the rump. V-Free® Wither Relief sheets begin where the mane ends, leaving the mane uncovered with fleece placed where the mane meets the sheet, further preventing rubbing.
Adjusta-Fit®Your Sheet for the Perfect Fit!
Often imitated, never duplicated! The Adjust-Fit® system was first created by us, at Schneiders®. From the widest Warmblood to the narrowest Thoroughbred, our original Adjusta-Fit® system allows you to customize the fit of the neck opening to fit any horse. Whether your horse is wide or narrow or has a high or low head carriage doesn't matter. This unique feature allows you to fit any width or head carriage, saving money and time when blanketing your horses.
An Open Front Design with Front Snaps for Easy On and Off
The open front design features double front snaps 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 snaps 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 protects from flies and midges biting along the sensitive underbelly line. Brass-plated hardware is positioned to avoid rubbing or poking while your horse is lying down, and the rear surcingle includes a stretch panel 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® 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 leg straps that help keep the sheet in place. They adjust from 20" to 38" and stretch as the horse moves with double brass-plated snaps for easy on and off.
3-Year Limited Warranty
This fly sheet has been constructed with extra care and is under warranty for three years. Straps, surcingles, assembly, and hardware are guaranteed for the warranty term.

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
This fly sheet is very
"This fly sheet is very sturdy and well made. However it is quite heavy and stiff and a little awkward to get on sometimes. The fit is good and there seems to be good airflow especially at the side. The temps haven't climbed into the 90s yet so not sure how well it will be tolerated as far as sweating and possible itching underneath it yet. No rubs at the shoulders however so that is a plus."
Very durable but stiff
"Rubbed the hair off shoulders & chest. Materials too stiff."
