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.

"I bought the Schneiders Soft Interlock Mesh II Attached Neck Euro Bellyband Leg Sheild Fly Sheet hoping for a better fit on my 14. 3 h mare. No matter how I attach the belly band or leg straps the fly sheet kept slipping off to one side. Very annoying. I have another fly sheet that never does this. Apparently the soft fabric is too soft!"
"Very pleased with the quality of the fly sheet, could’ve used one size smaller. Only issue I have found when my horse rolls, the neck piece comes undone. Other than that. . here in WNY the Nats are horrendous and has given my horse much relief."
"The flysheet fit nicely, and the size was accurate. However, the fabric ripped easily. Additionally, the Velcro neck straps had a lot of fabric attached to them, so the Velcro no longer worked."
"This sheet has been great. . . My horse normally has bleached out a bit and this is definitely UV protection as advertised. I also like the lycra strip between the sheet and the neck cover. It gives a little and protects his mane. I have liked this one better than the previous ones that I have bought."
"Looked like it would work great but unfortunately it’s only spring and it made my guy real sweaty so now I’m out over a hundred bucks and can’t even use it when we will need it most this summer."
"I really like this sheet for my allergic sweet itch boy. I feel it’s light enough has good coverage."
"It’s a great fly shield when weather is cooler in Florida. But too warm in temps over 80. Degrees"
"Very well made. Fits they all should fit! Great buy!"
"Comfortably soft and flexible material which made it well fitting for a variety of horses ranging from my Icelandic stallion to my elderly thoroughbred gelding. Does not stand up to rough play, but this sheet generally lasts one season on my older horses."
"Great fly sheet, especially for the horses that have adverse reactions to flys"
