Key benefits
The Fly Sheet With the BEST Insect Protection AND Airflow
This fly sheet is the best for insect protection and airflow. The 350D extra fine “window screen” nylon mesh protects against the widest range of biting insects, such as tiny gnats, mosquitos, and flies. It’s extremely breathable and stays cool in direct sunlight, providing 40% UV protection. The fabric withstands playful turnout, making this perfect for your horse to wear all summer with a 2-year warranty!
All About the V-Free® Wither Relief Fit
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 neckline 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.
Adjusta-Fit® Your Sheet for the Perfect Fit!
From the widest Warmblood to the narrowest Thoroughbred, our original Adjusta-Fit® system allows you to customize the fit of the neck opening to fit any horse. Whether your horse is wide or narrow or has a high or low head carriage doesn't matter. The Adjust-Fit® feature runs along the neckline of the blanket, so when in use, it lifts the front chest, pulling the blanket up into the base of the neck. It allows you to fit any width or head carriage, saving money and time when blanketing your horses.
A Closed Front Design for Comfort
The closed front option has a “deep v” front that allows your horse to put their head down without pulling the blanket forward. The lack of hardware and velcro eliminates any rubbing, which makes this option extremely comfortable.
SilverTek® Lined Chest, Shoulders, and Tail
A breathable 70D SilverTek® Nylon lining has been included on the front chest, shoulders, and tail flap. This technology has proven antibacterial properties that reduce rubs, odor, and irritations that may cause your horse discomfort during the hot summer months. When it comes into contact with bacteria or other microorganisms, the silver ions are released from the fabric, distributing their cell membranes and interfering with their metabolic processes. As a result, growth is inhibited, reducing the number of bacteria on the fabric’s surface. This keeps your horse healthier and the fabric cleaner, even after extended use and wear.
Better Gusset Design for Additional Freedom
The reinforced gussets extend higher and more forward to allow a greater range of motion when your horse gets up from lying down, walking, or playing in the pasture.
Adjustable Surcingle for a Secure Fit
The criss-cross surcingle closure option adjusts to keep the fly sheet from sliding side to side. Brass-plated hardware comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security.
SilverTek® Lined Extra-Large Tail Cover for Extra Protection
The extra-large tail cover protects from flies attacking the sensitive area underneath the tail. The added SilverTek® lining reduces potential hair breakage, keeping your horse’s tail fuller and looking better!
Reflective Stripes for Added Safety
For extra safety precautions, we’ve added highly visible reflective stripes on the flanks and tail for extra visibility in low light and night turnout.
Leg Straps Included
Set the sheet at the optimum snugness with the included detachable elastic leg straps that help keep the sheet in place. They adjust from 20" to 38" and stretch as the horse moves with double brass-plated snaps for easy on and off.
2-Year Limited Warranty
This fly sheet has been constructed with extra care and is under warranty for two years. Straps, surcingles, assembly, and hardware are guaranteed for the warranty term.

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.

Reviews
Fly sheet
"This is really nice to use."
Haven't used it yet since
"Haven't used it yet since I bought this at the end of the season. But it fits well. I like that you can adjust the shoulder fit since my horse is usually hard to fit."
Perfect. Fits my narrow chested
"Perfect. Fits my narrow chested horse better than the open fronts. Good quality and airflow is better than other brands I’ve seen."
Best fly sheet on the market
"I have two of these fly sheets and they are the best thing out there for airflow, and to keep mosquitoes and the small biting flies off. They fit well and Run true to size with a generous tail flap. I like the V free without the straps across the front. I also have two of their matching fly masks and one of their matching neck pieces. If they would contact me, I have one suggestion for how to make the fly mask a little better."
Great Durable Fly Sheet
"I have a growing youngster who had this fly sheet last year and it made it through the whole season in tact despite his rough playing. He needed a bigger size for this year, and hopefully this one will make it through the summer as well!"
Best fly sheet I have
"Best fly sheet I have ever purchased. Works well for mosquitoes as well. I have 6 horses and tested this one and 2 others. This is my top choice. Rolling and mud, no problem. Mesh is sturdy. The horse I used this on is top of the pecking order so I cannot attest to play toughness. Also, one of the cooler sheets for hot summers that I tested out this year. I will purchase more for certain."
Good flysheet
"This flysheet is pretty durable and easy to clean."
Best Mosquito Sheet!
"I love these mosquito sheets from Schneider's!! The quality is great and they're the perfect weight for Florida. Both of my horses have worn them without complaints😉 and they can stand up to turnout conditions while keeping the bugs off."
BEST BEST BEST fly sheet EVER!!!
"BEST fly/mosquito sheets on the market!!! Fit great and hold up to all kinds of shenanigans!!"
