The textured, shiny, reflective nylon mesh is breathable and durable for light play, with a 40% UV protection rating. Ripstop fabric is woven using a crosshatch pattern with thicker threads interwoven at regular intervals.

So, next time you turn your horse out, you’ll know they’re nice and comfortable.

Choose Between Our Euro Fits

This fly sheet is available in two Euro fit options.

Our Euro fly sheets fit straight from the withers through the back that’s designed to drape comfortably and adapts to most breeds and conformations. The sheet comes up 4–6 inches onto the mane, fully covering the shoulders and withers. The Euro fly sheets also have extra comfortable fleece at the withers to prevent rubbing.

Our Attached Neck Euro fly sheets fit straight from the withers through the back for a comfortable fit for ALL breeds with the innovative SilverTek® antibacterial nylon lining. The attached neck connects to the sheet with a stretchy lycra that allows your horse to put their head down to graze comfortably. It also prevents the sheet from slipping forward, maintaining coverage no matter the conditions. With the Attached Neck Euro Fit, your horse will be protected from ears to tail.

Fly Material and Fit Guide

An Open Front Design with Front Buckles for Easy On and Off

The open front design features double front buckles with new and improved wider 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.

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.

Closure Options for Better Protection

Choose between a surcingle or bellyband closure for comfort and protection, with chrome-plated hardware that resists fly sprays and detergents corrosion.

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. Hardware is positioned to avoid rubbing or poking while your horse is lying down, and the t-post hardware on the bellyband closure includes locking bands and incorporates elastic inserts for more give as the horse moves since the proper fit is with the bellyband snug and flush to the belly.

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® nylon 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 chrome-plated snaps for easy on and off.

Reviews

"Fit is not great. Shoulders are not full enough and neck is halfway up their neck. Manes will rub out especially when its very long"

Ronda (2/5)

Schneiders ripstop nylon mesh ll euro surcingle fly sheet

"Light weight. Good coverage. Measures accurately. Perfect for the hot, humid summer days! Schneiers brand items never disappoint."

Susan W. (5/5)

Poor Fit For Large Horses

"It’s an interesting material, not able to really judge the hardiness of it because the fit is just too terrible. Really odd sizing in the neck area. My horse is an 84” but this sheet has a neck panel placement for a horse that would be in a 68”! He’s worn it 3 days and it’s already starting to rub his shoulders. Comes off tomorrow . Waste of money."

C. J. (2/5)

Great!

"I questioned how long it would take for my horse to ruin a fly sheet. He has never worn one before. This sheet is tough! He hasn’t done a thing to it in over 3 weeks! So I purchased another to be able to have one on him and bring the other home to clean."

SUSAN B. (5/5)

Love that belly band

"I love blankets with belly band closure. It keeps blanket secure and in place. Have replaced 1 of my horses fly sheet and winter blanket with Schneider belly band closure blankets."

Terri H. (5/5)

Truly “rip stop!”

"Great sheet truly does not rip and trust me my horse tried to! It was more snug around the chest/shoulder area so I’d suggest sizing up one size."

Elizabeth H. (5/5)

Fits great and holds up

"Fits great and holds up to a group of naughtly geldings,."
