Shield Your Horse from Summer Nuisances

The Shires Highlander Fine Mesh Fly Sheet/Neck Set is the ultimate defense against summer's biggest frustrations—biting insects and the scorching sun. We know there's nothing more taxing for a horse than constant stomping and tail-swishing in the heat, which is why this sheet is engineered with an ultra-fine mesh that keeps even the smallest midges and 'no-see-ums' at bay.

Beyond bug protection, this sheet acts as a high-performance shield for your horse's skin and coat. The White/Sage design isn't just a classic look for the barn; it actively reflects sunlight to keep your horse cool while providing 80% UV protection to prevent sun-bleaching on show-ready coats and sunburn on sensitive skin.

Key Benefits for Your Horse

• Total Insect Defense: The 100% polyester fine mesh is tight enough to block tiny biting gnats while remaining exceptionally breathable for the hottest afternoons.
• Sun Bleaching Prevention: With 80% UV protection, this sheet helps maintain a dark, glossy coat and protects pink-skinned horses from painful sunburns.
• Maximum Shielding: Features an ergonomic triple-strapped belly flap and a large pleated tail flap to ensure those vulnerable underbelly and hindquarter areas are fully covered.
• Unrestricted Movement: Deep shoulder gussets provide a roomier fit through the chest, ensuring your horse can graze and move naturally without shoulder rubs.
• Customizable Coverage: The included detachable neck cover features secure halter straps, allowing you to adjust the level of protection based on fly activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I find the right size for my horse?

To get the perfect fit for the Shires Highlander Fine Mesh Fly Sheet, measure from the center of the chest, around the widest part of the shoulder, to the center of the tail. This follows standard US/UK rug sizing, and the adjustable chest and belly straps help you dial in the fit perfectly.

Q: Is this sheet durable enough for all-day turnout?

Absolutely. The Highlander range is built for the long haul with reinforced stress points and secure fastenings. While the mesh is fine for airflow, it is designed to withstand the rigors of pasture life while keeping your horse comfortable.
