Spring and Fall Weather Will Break Any Blanket That Can't Breathe
Chilly mornings, warm afternoons, unexpected rain — transitional months demand a turnout that protects without overheating. The Schneiders Airmesh II delivers waterproof coverage with mesh ventilation exactly where your horse runs hot.
Designed in Ohio where the weather changes by the hour. Built to handle it.
Transitional Weather Is the Season That Ruins Blankets
Spring and fall create an impossible situation: too cold to leave your horse unblanketed, but too warm for a sheet that traps heat. Standard turnout sheets trap body heat and moisture, leaving you with a sweaty horse that's paradoxically cold from wet hair — and a blanket that smells like a wet dog by week two. Horses in improper blanketing during transitional seasons are at real risk of respiratory and skin issues.
A Horse That Overheats Under a Sheet Is Worse Than No Sheet at All
Moisture trapped under a non-breathable turnout sheet creates the ideal environment for skin funk, rain rot, and respiratory stress — particularly in horses with dense coats. A sweaty horse in chilly morning air loses heat rapidly and risks catching a chill at the exact moment you thought you were protecting them. The wrong sheet, in the wrong conditions, does real harm.
- ✗Finding horse sweaty under a sheet on a 55-degree morning
- ✗Rain rot under blankets that trap moisture instead of releasing it
- ✗Sheets that offer rain protection but cook horses in mild temperatures
- ✗Constantly second-guessing the blanket on/off call in unpredictable weather
Airmesh II Ventilates Where Horses Run Hot, Waterproofs Where They Get Wet
The Schneiders Airmesh II places breathable mesh panels at the shoulders and hips — the exact locations where horses generate and trap the most heat — while maintaining waterproof coverage across the front, back, and sides where rain and wind penetrate. The lightweight 600D ripstop outer is durable enough for pastured horses in a herd without being so heavy it becomes a heat trap. The Euro surcingle closure provides a clean, secure fit that doesn't shift during turnout.
Strategic Mesh Ventilation
Airmesh panels at shoulders and hips release body heat at the zones where horses overheat most.
Waterproof Where It Matters
Waterproofing across the front, back, and sides keeps horses dry through sustained rain without trapping moisture.
Durable 600D Ripstop Shell
Lightweight 600D ripstop construction handles herd play and fence friction without tearing or pilling.
Euro Surcingle Fit
Euro surcingle closure provides a secure, comfortable fit that stays properly positioned during active turnout.
