When to Use a Scrim Sheet

A scrim sheet is a thin, lightweight sheet made from a netted or mesh-type fabric that helps keep dust and bugs off your horse while standing in a stall, on a trailer, or ringside at a horse show. Scrim sheets give your horse a neat, tidy look — a step up from a traditional fly sheet when you want your horse looking polished.
