Keep Your Horse Cool While Blocking Flies and UV Rays Summer turnout shouldn't mean choosing between fly protection and overheating. The Cashel Lightweight Fly Sheet solves both — soft coated nylon micromesh blocks up to 70% of harmful UV rays while maintaining maximum airflow to keep your horse comfortable in the heat. The signature Crusader design contours to shoulders and withers, so the sheet stays put during rolling and play instead of shifting back like standard-cut sheets. The extra-wide belly flap provides critical coverage where midges and belly-biters attack most, while the breathable mesh can be hosed down on the horse for instant evaporative cooling during peak summer heat. Built for the rigors of pasture life with adjustable leg straps and secure surcingles — tough enough for horses that are hard on gear. Why Riders Choose the Cashel Lightweight Fly Sheet Blocks sun without trapping heat — 70% UV protection prevents sunburn on pink skin and coat bleaching, while micromesh ventilation keeps air moving even in high humidity. Stays in place during turnout — Crusader shoulder cut eliminates the "slide back" problem; contoured design moves with your horse through rolling, grazing, and herd play. Protects the vulnerable midline — Extra-wide belly flap creates a barrier against gnats and belly-biting flies that target sensitive underside areas. Evaporative cooling built in — Hose down the mesh while on your horse for instant relief; the fabric is engineered to cool through evaporation without staying waterlogged. Range sizing for custom fit — 3-inch sizing ranges (e.g., 74"–76") with adjustable front closures accommodate both narrow and wide-bodied horses without excess fabric bunching. Pasture-tough construction — Coated nylon micromesh and heavy-duty hardware withstand daily wear from horses that rub, roll, and test their gear. Best For Pasture horses and light-skinned horses needing all-day fly and UV protection without overheating during summer turnout. Frequently Asked Questions Q: How do I measure my horse for the correct size? Measure from the center of your horse's chest to the center of the tail. The Cashel Lightweight Fly Sheet uses 3-inch range sizing — if your horse measures 75 inches, choose the 74"–76" size. The adjustable front closures give you fine-tuning for both narrow and broader builds. Q: Will this sheet hold up if my horse rolls frequently? Yes. The coated nylon micromesh is built for pasture turnout and daily rolling. The Crusader shoulder design keeps the sheet from twisting or sliding during ground play, and the hardware is reinforced for horses that are hard on their gear. Q: Can I use this sheet while riding? This sheet is designed for turnout, not riding — the belly flap and leg strap placement are optimized for pasture movement. If you need fly protection under saddle, Cashel's Quiet Ride line is built specifically for riding coverage.
