A Fly Sheet Designed with the Senior Horse in Mind
The RipGuard® VTEK® Wither Relief Senior Fly Sheet is the perfect solution for senior horses that need extra protection from flies and other pesky insects. The senior horse's build of sunken shoulders and a weaker top line are typically hard to fit, but this senior turnout was made to fit the ever-changing needs of your senior horse. The VTEK® wither relief design ensures a comfortable fit, while the nylon-lined chest and shoulders prevent rubs. This fly sheet is made of durable 350D x 600D soft mesh that self-repairs when snagged. It's built to keep your senior horse comfortable and protected all season long.
The senior horse's withers become more prominent over time due to back muscles weakening, causing sway back problems. To add protection where your senior horse needs it the most, we took the great fitting VTEK® Pressure Free Wither design and extended it 4" forward and 2" backward, increasing the coverage both over the withers and shoulder.
Memory Foam Padded Wither and Shoulder Line
Senior horses often lose muscle mass, causing the bones around the withers and shoulder line to become more prominent. This senior fly sheet has memory foam added to the wither and shoulder line for an additional layer of protection that prevents rubs and sores in these areas.

A Durable Fly Sheet for Hard Play, Plus the BEST Fly Protection
This senior fly sheet is made from a special diamond interwoven mesh that is more durable than other soft mesh fabrics. The best part is that it can self-repair snags that often lead to larger tears! If a small snag occurs, all you have to do is rub the fabric back and forth to repair it. Also, it allows for good airflow and the best fly protection, making it the perfect fly sheet for daily use.
Criss-Cross Surcingle for Secure Fastening
The criss-cross surcingles adjust to keep the fly sheet from sliding from side to side. Plus, it comes with locking bands and detachable elastic leg straps for increased security. The brass-plated hardware resists corrosion from moisture, manure, and detergents.
Reflective Fabric for Night Turnout
The highly reflective 3M patches on the rear flanks and tail allow you to find your senior horse easily in the dark.
2 Buckle Open Front Closure
The two-buckle open front closure with hook and loop assist closure allows you to easily take your senior horse's fly sheet on and off.
Extra Protection from Large Tail Cover
This fly sheet features an enlarged tail cover to ensure your senior horse remains unbothered by pesky bugs while adding protection from sunburns and heavy winds.
Additional Freedom from a Better Gusset Design
Reinforced gussets extend higher and more forward to allow greater freedom of movement for the shoulder, which prevents rubbing on the shoulders.
Leg Straps Included
Detachable Elastic leg straps help keep the sheet in place. Our leg straps adjust from 20" to 38" and will stretch as the horse moves. Set at optimum snugness and use the double brass-plated snaps for easy on and off.
Guaranteed to Last
This senior fly sheet is under a 3-year warranty. It has been constructed with extra care, including heavy-duty and extra-wide bindings and reinforced patched supporting leg wrap hardware.
