How do I know this fly sheet is right for my horse?
There are many factors to consider when choosing a fly sheet for your horse, including breathability, durability, and the amount of UV and insect protection the fly sheet offers. The RipGuard Senior VTEK® Wither Relief Adjusta-Fit® Surcingle Horse Fly Sheet is right for your senior horse if you're looking for a fly sheet that self-repairs against small snags, blocks UV rays, and protects against flies.
Our Senior VTEK ® Wither Relief fly sheets are designed to prevent rubbing and relieve pressure on your senior horse. The unique upward lift between the blanket and point of the withers allows for space, with memory foam padding to fill in gaps that senior horses have between the base of their neck and shoulders, as well as padding at their hip bones, to eliminate rubbing and sores. It includes an extended coverage over the shoulder and withers for comfort and extends 6 to 8 inches onto the mane with fleece placed where the mane meets the sheet, further preventing rubbing.
The open front design features double front buckles 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 buckles make it easy to put on and remove.
The criss-cross surcingle closure option adjusts 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 chrome-plated hardware resists corrosion from fly sprays and detergents.
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.
