How do I know this fly sheet is right for my horse?

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 a fly sheet that self-repairs against small snags, blocks UV rays, and protects against flies.

Our VTEK ® Wither Relief fly sheets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on moderate to high withers. The upright shoulder and shape over the withers are designed to fit Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Appendix horses, or those with upright shoulder conformation. It includes an extended drop to cover a deeper heartgirth, and they are shaped with darts at the hips to give a more contoured fit around the rump. Extends 6 to 8 inches onto the mane with fleece placed where the mane meets the sheet, further preventing rubbing.

Fly Fit Guide

The open front design features double front buckles with 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. 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.
