The Dura-Mesh Adjusta-Fit® Plaid Fly Sheet is the perfect durable option if you have a horse that plays hard in the pasture. The VTEK® and V-Free® Wither Relief options make this fly sheet a perfect fit - for confirmations from Thoroughbreds to Quarter Horses, Arabians, and many others.

The Dura-Mesh Adjusta-Fit® Plaid Fly Sheet is our most durable fly sheet, 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 through, so your horse will stay cool in the sun.
This fly sheet is available in two patented fits: VTEK® Wither Relief and V-Free® Wither Relief.
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.
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.
The open front design features double front snaps 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 snaps make it easy to put on and remove.
Choose between a surcingle or bellyband closure for comfort and protection, with brass-plated hardware that resists corrosion from fly sprays and detergents.
The criss-cross surcingle closure option adjusts to keep the fly sheet from sliding side to side. Comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.
The bellyband closure option protects from flies and midges biting along the sensitive underbelly line. 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.
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.
