Someone wants to trade their 76" Saxon Super Sheet for my Wrangler fly sheet. Mine is a great sheet, just a 74 instead of a 76 which is what Whitney needs.
Has anyone had any experience with this?

I think the neck thing might be good because Whitney gets severe (well not that severe, but severe enough to need medication) allergic reactions to bug bites.

I've been using Saxon sheets for the last couple of years. I haven't ever used a Wrangler, so I can't do a good comparison. :( I have had normal issues with rough horses doing damage, but nothing that would lead me to say they are a bad sheet. Have you tried to search for reviews on the net?? Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I've used Saxon before and really liked most of them. I've never gotten a fly sheet from them though and amount wondering about the quality of this particular sheet. I googled it and didn't come up with anything.

Ooooo...I found a page with some reviews...not very good... :( Maybe I haven't had enough experience with other brands and mine snagged and tore to easily as well. I had always chalked it up to naughty horses, but now I'm not so sure! LOL!

stay away from the soft mesh if your horse is pastured!!! i got one once for my mare and she is very nice on blankets and with in a few weeks it was riped up.

What do you suggest instead?

try to find one made out of the same material that they make fly masks out of, they hold up better than the soft mesh stuff.
