The Fly Sheet with the BEST Cooling Material and Exceptional UV Protection
This fly sheet offers an exceptional 80% UV protection rating and is constructed with cooling technology for comfortable wearing. It combines interlocking 300D polyester mesh and nylon cooling yarn that are hygroscopic and sweat-releasing. As your horse heats up, the fly sheet works hard to cool and inhibit sweating, ensuring that your horse stays comfortable even in direct sunlight. You'll also find that this sheet allows for airflow that's perfect for horses that live in moderate to warm climates and protects from small to medium-sized biting insects, such as gnats and flies.
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.
An Open Front Design 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.
Criss-Cross Surcingle Closure for Better Protection
The criss-cross surcingle closure with chrome-plated hardware option adjusts to keep the fly sheet from sliding side to side. Comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.
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.

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
Good but not Great
"This fly sheet is GREAT for hot summer days and sweaty horses! HOWEVER the material that this is made out of easily catches and rips on the velcro so they don’t last very long before a hole appears… I also found that this blanket fit smaller than normal. My horse wears a 80 or 81 in all of his clothes however I wish I would’ve sized up in this fly sheet as it was super tight around the neck and short on the body. I would suggest this product but warn of the above two things!"
Velcro
"I love the fly sheet, it's soft, and fits well. I hate the velcro on the neck. It doesn't go through in type of hook/bar and when not on the horse sticks to the fly sheet and has damaged it."
Love this sheet
"I’ve tried many fly sheets but this one seems to work the best for my horse! No swishing and he does not sweat underneath! Would definitely buy again. Love the quality."
Great
"On our 2nd year of use and it’s holding up great. It keeps cool in the Texas summers. Fit is great. Doesn’t gap anywhere."
Terrible product
"This sheet has multiple Velcro features that constantly snag the sheet material. This makes the sheet very hard to work with and leaves the sheet with multiple areas where the fabric has been snagged and pulled. I’ve reported this to the company and got back from them a list of things I need to do to be reviewed by the”warranty department “ rather than a simple refund or exchange opportunity. Very very disappointed about the product and the response to my complaints."
Like the option of a cooling material
"Have a high wither horse that by afternoon the blanket starts to pull on his withers. Already ripped the chest liner material. Overall it's a great option for a fly sheet."
Great fly sheet
"I bought one last summer and it worked so well I bought another for my other horse for this summer. They stay cool in this sheet even on super hot and humid days. Well made and worth it"
Disappointed
"Soft feel but the fabric was constantly sticking to the velcro everywhere it touched."
as advertised
"have not used in the field yet, but material is soft and it is true to size, fits similar to previously purchased light and medium weight blankets"
