Finally — A Fly Sheet That Doesn't Rub or Overheat Your Horse

We've all dealt with it: shoulder rubs, sweat buildup under stiff mesh, and bleached-out coats by September. The Cashel Lightweight Fly Sheet solves those headaches with soft, coated nylon micro-mesh that breathes on the hottest days while blocking 70% of UV rays. Your dark bay or black horse keeps their coat color, and sensitive-skinned horses get real protection without the bulk.

The Crusader design is what makes this sheet different — contoured shoulders eliminate rubbing at the withers and chest, and the extra-wide belly flap with adjustable straps gives you true underbelly coverage against biting gnats and flies. Built for all-day turnout in hot, humid climates, this sheet moves with your horse instead of against them.

Why Riders Choose Cashel Lightweight Fly Sheet

• No more shoulder rubs — Crusader design contours to your horse's conformation for a pressure-free fit at the withers and chest.
• 70% UV protection — Prevents sun-bleaching on dark coats and shields sensitive skin from harsh summer rays.
• Superior airflow — Coated nylon micro-mesh keeps your horse cooler than heavier sheets, even in August humidity.
• Full underbelly coverage — Extra-wide belly flap with multiple adjustment straps blocks gnats, flies, and mosquitoes where they bite most.
• Built for all-day turnout — Soft yet durable material withstands pasture roughhousing without causing friction or overheating.
• Engineered for hot climates — Designed specifically for barns in the South and humid regions where overheating is a real risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I size this sheet correctly for my horse?

Measure from the center of the chest, along the side, to the center of the tail. Cashel uses 2-inch increments. If your horse falls at the top of a size range or has a broad chest and prominent withers, size up for the best fit across the shoulders and belly coverage.

Q: Will the micro-mesh hold up to daily pasture turnout?

Yes. The coated nylon is soft against the skin but engineered to handle turnout wear — fence scratching, rolling, herd dynamics. It's built for barns where horses live out 24/7 during fly season.

Q: Does this sheet really prevent coat bleaching?

Absolutely. The 70% UV protection is specifically designed to keep dark coats from fading to that dull rust color by late summer. Riders with black and dark bay horses notice the difference within weeks of consistent use.
