The 5/A Baker® Scrim Fly Sheet is specifically designed for English-style equestrians who prioritize both functionality and appearance at events such as horse shows. This fly sheet is not intended for turnout but is ideal for use during show prep, warm-up, or while horses are resting in holding areas before and after their performance.

If you're looking for a fly sheet that complements your horse’s overall presentation, the Scrim Fly Sheet is an excellent choice. Its lightweight, breathable material ensures that your horse stays cool while providing a polished, professional look.

Durable and Lightweight Protection

Constructed from 100% polyester mesh, the 5/A Baker® Scrim Fly Sheet offers lightweight, breathable protection without compromising on durability. The polyester mesh fabric effectively keeps flies and insects away from your horse’s coat, preventing irritations and distractions while maintaining your horse’s pristine appearance for shows.

The polyester material is not only strong and resistant to tearing but also breathable, allowing air to circulate through the fabric and keeping your horse cool in warm show environments. This balance between protection and breathability makes the Scrim Fly Sheet ideal for use in hot weather, where horses need to stay cool while still being protected from pests.

Stylish and Professional Appearance

The 5/A Baker® Scrim Fly Sheet embodies the brand's signature style with a sleek, classic look that makes your horse stand out in any show setting. Its minimalistic design doesn’t sacrifice on performance or comfort, but instead enhances your horse's appearance while keeping them clean and presentable. The navy trim and secure buckle straps ensure a tailored fit, offering both functionality and a touch of elegance.

This fly sheet is particularly well-suited for horse owners who want to add an extra layer of sophistication to their horse's show attire. Whether your horse is waiting for a competition or just cooling down after a ride, the Scrim Fly Sheet gives them a polished, professional look that complements their performance.

Secure and Comfortable Fit

Keeping your horse comfortable while at a show is critical, and the 5/A Baker® Scrim Fly Sheet has been designed with comfort in mind. The front buckle strap is made of durable 1" nylon that ensures a secure fit without causing discomfort or restricting movement. The 2" nylon surcingle helps keep the fly sheet in place, even during light activity such as walking or cooling down after a workout. The surcingle is positioned inside the front of the sheet to avoid interfering with your horse’s movement and providing a sleek outer appearance.

The overall design ensures that the sheet stays securely in place without causing any rubbing or irritation on your horse's coat, making it a great addition to their grooming and show prep routine.
