When looking for the best UV protection for your horse, look no further than this fly sheet. The attached neck and bellyband closure protects your horse from irritating insects and harmful UV rays from ears to tail. These sheets are made from a soft and comfortable 300D polyester interlock mesh material offering an impressive 80% UV protection level and the best protection against small to medium-sized insects, like gnats and flies. Plus, it features NEW reflective stripes for safety and SilverTek® technology with antibacterial nylon lining on the chest, shoulders, and tail flap.
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. If your horse needs the best UV protection, this is your best choice.
Our Attached Neck Euro fly sheets fit straight from the withers through the back for a comfortable fit for ALL breeds with the innovative SilverTek™ antibacterial nylon lining. The attached neck connects to the sheet with a stretchy lycra that allows your horse to put their head down to graze comfortably. It also prevents the sheet from slipping forward, maintaining coverage no matter the conditions. With the Attached Neck Euro Fit, your horse will be protected from ears to tail.
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.
The bellyband closure option protects from flies and midges biting along the sensitive underbelly. Chrome-plated 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.

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.

"The fly sheet fits well but the piece of velcro which is supposed to loop throught halter for secure fit is too small of a piece and comes off every night. When that happens the neck slides and my horse's entire neck is full of bites. It also becomes very tight on his neck as it slides down. Need a piece of velcro the entire length of fastener piece"
"This is the first fly sheet I've ever bought. This sheet is a lot heavier than I thought it would be but tha tworks because it stays in place. I thought it would be hard to put on, do the straps and take off but it wasn't. My horses of which only one has ever worn anything like it were just fine. I mean, I had no idea but it worked. I don't do the under tail strap because because I don't leave it on them all day, its for when we go for our walks and then don't have the other horses to help keep the flies off, but it does cut down on how much bug spray I need. Perhaps it would be a good idea to buy two more?"
"My mare wears a 72 in everything but this sheet was so long at her tail end that I’m ordering a 68 instead. Extra caution : the sheet looked ok when she tried it on, but then I clipped the little plastic tag hanger that was holding shut the gussets at the shoulders, the fir changed completely! On the plus side, customer service has been great to work with on the exchange."
"I love the mosquito mesh sheet! Flies, not mosquitoes , are my biggest concern and this sheet covers him and the problem perfectly. Doc recently got bitten in the face by a rattlesnake and spent 5 days in the hospital getting anti venom and recovering. It was a happy day when I could turn him out again with his best buddy in his new sheet. He’s healthy again and his coat looks beautiful. Thanks, Schneiders, for covering both of my boys!"
"Excellent product, bought one for each of my adopted BLM mustangs."
"I really wanted to love this fly sheet - and I do when I first put it on my gelding. Unfortunately, by the time I go out in the evening to take it off, it is so sideways that it is practically dragging on the ground on one side (by his back legs). This makes unhooking the belly band almost impossible and getting it off of him is a nightmare. I tried many different ways to get it to stay mostly straight, but nothing worked. The velcro on the neck cover rips up that part and he rips up the sides within a few weeks just rubbing on the fence. I have quite using it."
"The fit is big. My horse usually wears 75-76 but even the 72 is big on him. Will be doing some sewing to make it shorter. Otherwise fabric is nice and washes up nicely ( important when you own a horse who loves to roll!)."
"My horses are much happier With out the pesky bugs bothering them!"
"This fly sheet fits my stocky 14. 2 QH perfectly. It stays in place, is quite adjustable and comes with leg straps. The belly band is forward enough to prevent it from getting peed on. The fabric is soft and airy. Would highly recommend."
"The fly sheet is well made and fits my pony well. I like the belly coverage. Easy to wash too."
