Are Your Horses Left "Blowing In The Wind"?
An open barn or stall offers wonderful ventilation, but, what if the weather turns to blazing sun, driving rain or pelting snow? Having a durable screen to help protect your equine friend is vital to both their health, comfort and well being. While the main purpose of equine windscreen is to provide for wind and noise reduction. Increased privacy and improved appearance of horse riding arenas and horse racing tracks are further benefits. Equine fence screens can be ordered in standard or custom sizes. With many color options, our arena windscreens can be customized with custom logos, letters, custom graphics or message on panels. You can also choose from a variety of windscreen installation accessories. What About A Windscreen For My Horse Arena?

Windscreens reduce the effects of wind and driving rain entering the open-sided arena. Covermaster windscreens are custom fabricated to your specifications. We offer standard 6’ and 9’ high sections.

What About A Privacy Windscreen? (Does This Story Sound Familiar?)
COVERMASTER® Windscreen offers many other benefits for Equestrian facilities. For instance, one of our clients called "Empty Saddle Club", a private riding club focused on ensuring the continuation of Western-style riding, was in search of a replacement for its old open-weave poly windscreens. One of the main requirements the Club had for their new windscreens was for them to function as a visual impairment for the horses and cows inside the arena. They wanted to prevent outside activity from distracting the animals.
After a conversation with a representative from the COVERMASTER® team, in which the wide variety of options available was discussed, Empty Saddle Club determined the Polypropylene Tight Weave Windscreen was the best windscreen solution for their facility. Offering a durable 95% shading capacity, this windscreen was the perfect choice for a facility looking to visually obstruct any object or distraction outside of the arena.
After the Windscreen was installed at Empty Saddle Club’s facility, the club shared with COVERMASTER® that they were very happy with the look and fit of their new windscreens, noting that less dust sticks to these windscreens than the windscreens they had used in the past. Empty Saddle Club highly recommends the COVERMASTER® windscreen to other facilities looking to improve the look, privacy, and sunshade of their facility, as well as those looking to support their animals in performing their best.
What About Shading Horses From The Blazing Sun?
Nothing like seeing your beautiful chestnut fade to a palomino--- or your black horse turn to brown-- all from the sun! Let's not even talk about how distracting the sun can blind you while you ride or give you a 'tan' you may not appreciate! COVERMASTER® Windscreen/Shadescreen can keep the sun off the Horses and stable staff. A wide rand of shade screen mesh is available, from 50-78% shading in our vinyl mesh, and up to 95% in a polypropylene mesh. These shade screens allow some breeze and light to pass through but offer considerable shade to keep the area cool and reduce UV exposure.
How About Custom Stall Draping? (Facility Enhancement /Event Branding Solutions)
We can do it! Custom Stall draping is also available to dress up your show stall or promote your brand. COVERMASTER® offers complete branding solutions for Horse Show Stalls, Show Arenas RaceTracks, Rodeo events, and more. We can help you dress up your facility to make a visual impact on your show attendees. Custom printed windscreen with show branding, advertising or wayfinding information will raise awareness and enhance your equestrian facility. Branded Windscreen help to dress up event railings and fencing, at race tracks, show jumping arenas, rodeos, and other areas at a Horse Event facility.
Looking For Stadium Seat Covers?
We have them and boy are they nice! Our Stadium Seat Covers can be used to control seating, deliver show branding or advertising messages in unused seating, or as a backdrop to add visual improvements to the venue.
But...Are These Windscreens Tough Enough For Horses? While no screen is completely indestructible, our equine fence screens are made with high tensile strength fabrics such as polypropylene and vinyl coated mesh... fully designed for added durability necessary when working with horses. They are also Ultra-violet resistant, and are available in an open or closed weave and in various weights and grades to satisfy a wide range of applications!
Can Covermaster® Help Protect My Arena Too?
YES! The Equestrian Raincover by Covermaster is the solution! Whether it is boarding, training, showing or working with students, you need your arena! An arena provides a safe place to ride, learn, warm up and school your horse. When rains or snow hit your arena, you can end up with a muddy puddle that is dangerous to both horse and riders.
You need to remember!Seeing frustrated boarders (looking to other stables for ‘indoor arenas’, or disappointed students you have to cancel because it rained the night before), isn’t just upsetting— it Costs YOU Money!
This System Is FAR More Affordable Than Indoor Arena!
Everyone wants an indoor arena…. but most of them cost 1/4 million or more! The Equestrian Arena Raincover System is far more affordable than building an indoor riding arena!!! Indoor riding arenas are very expensive, and require extensive municipal approvals and permits. A Covermaster Equestrian Arena Raincover is a good way to extend the life of your arena, and can save your footing from being washed away. It will allow you to ride right after a rain storm and has so many affordable benefits.
Whether You Need Windscreens or Arena Protection Covers, Covermaster® Has You Covered! We want nothing more than your complete satisfaction! From your first call to sizing, pricing and delivery, we have you covered and will spare no effort to serve you well. Call us and tell us about your horse property today!
Covermaster Windmaster Extreme heavy-duty fence windscreen installed on a sports and equestrian arena perimeter
What does a Covermaster® windscreen actually do for a riding arena?
A Covermaster® windscreen is a tensioned fabric panel that mounts to the fence line, posts, or tension cables surrounding an outdoor or open-sided horse riding arena. It cuts the wind and noise that spook horses and unsettle a ride, while adding privacy, sun shading, and a cleaner, more finished appearance to the facility. The same screens are used on horse racing tracks and equestrian centers to keep blowing wind and rain out of the working space. They turn an exposed ring into a calmer, more controlled environment without the cost of building solid walls.

Covermaster Windmaster Ultra windscreen panels with custom printed banners on arena fencing
What materials and fabrics go into these windscreens?
Covermaster® windscreens are made with high tensile strength fabrics such as polypropylene and vinyl-coated mesh, engineered to stand up to seasons of outdoor exposure. The fabric is ultra-violet resistant to resist fading and breakdown in direct sun, and it is available in an open or closed weave and in various weights and grades so each facility can match airflow and shading to its climate. Open-weave panels let some wind pass through to reduce billowing and load on the posts, while closed and solid grades maximize privacy and full wind blocking. Multiple stock colors are offered to coordinate with existing fencing and barn aesthetics.

How does a Covermaster® windscreen mount and install?
The screens can be attached with zip ties through the grommets, fastening directly to the arena posts, or run on tension cables strung between the posts for a taut, professional finish. A range of windscreen installation accessories is available to complete the job, so a facility can outfit a few panels or wrap an entire ring. Because panels come in standard or custom sizes, they fit existing fence runs without major modification. The grommet-and-zip-tie system also makes panels straightforward to remove or replace for off-season storage or repairs.
Which windscreen model fits your arena?
The Windmaster® family spans the full range of needs: Windmaster Extreme™ and Windmaster PRO™ for heavy-duty wind blocking, Windmaster Ultra™, Windmaster Lite™, and Windmaster Knit™ across lighter weaves and weights, and Windmaster Solid™ for maximum privacy and full coverage. Every panel can be customized with custom logos, letters, custom graphics, or a message, and the Windmaster Digital Print™ option turns screens into full-color branded banners for sponsors or facility identity. The classic Tuffy Windscreen rounds out the line as a durable everyday choice.
Pair your screens with Covermaster® arena raincovers
Beyond windscreens, Covermaster® makes equestrian riding arena raincovers that apply the same field-tarp concept used on pro baseball diamonds, protecting the footing so even a short rainstorm no longer disrupts dressage, show jumping, and other outdoor sessions. The lineup includes the Raincover Max™ (RCM), Raincover Ultra™ (RCU), and Raincover Premier™ (RC600), deployed and rolled with the Tarpmate AIR™ Roller (Tpmt-AR), which is backpack-blower compatible for easy one-person handling. Covermaster® positions these covers as an economical alternative to building a covered riding arena at a fraction of the cost and time. To request sizing or a quote, contact COVERMASTER®, Inc. at or.

What is a Covermaster® windscreen?
A Covermaster® windscreen is a high tensile strength fabric panel that attaches to the fencing or posts around a horse riding arena or racing track. It reduces wind and noise, adds privacy, provides sun shading, and improves the overall appearance of the facility. The screens are part of Covermaster's equestrian product line, which also includes arena raincovers and stall and rail padding.
Who makes Covermaster windscreens?
They are made by COVERMASTER®, Inc., a company founded in 1969 that became the preferred choice of groundskeepers at sports fields around the world. Covermaster originally built its name on gym floor covers, outdoor raincovers, and field tarps, and it applies that same proven engineering to its equestrian windscreens and arena covers. You can reach them toll-free at 800-387-5808 or by email at [email protected].
What materials are Covermaster windscreens made from?
They are made with high tensile strength fabrics such as polypropylene and vinyl-coated mesh. The fabric is ultra-violet (UV) resistant to withstand long-term outdoor sun exposure, and it is offered in an open or closed weave and in various weights and grades. This range lets a facility choose between more airflow or more complete wind blocking depending on its needs.
What is the difference between an open weave and closed weave windscreen?
An open-weave windscreen lets some air pass through the fabric, which reduces billowing and lowers the wind load placed on the fence posts while still cutting much of the wind. A closed weave or solid panel blocks more wind and provides maximum privacy. Covermaster offers both, plus several weights and grades, so you can match the screen to your climate and how exposed your arena is.
What windscreen models does Covermaster offer?
The WINDMASTER® family includes WINDMASTER EXTREME™ and WINDMASTER PRO™ for heavy-duty wind blocking, plus WINDMASTER ULTRA™, WINDMASTER LITE™, WINDMASTER KNIT™, and WINDMASTER SOLID™ across different weaves and weights. There is also WINDMASTER DIGITAL PRINT™ for full-color custom graphics and the classic Tuffy Windscreen as a durable everyday option.
Can I get a windscreen with my facility's logo or name on it?
Yes. Covermaster windscreens can be customized with custom logos, letters, custom graphics, or a message printed on the panels. For full-color branding, the WINDMASTER DIGITAL PRINT™ option turns the screens into printed banners, which is ideal for sponsor names or facility identity. This lets your arena fencing double as advertising and branding space.
How are Covermaster windscreens installed?
The screens can be attached with zip ties through the grommets, mounting them directly to the arena posts, or they can be run on tension cables strung between the posts for a tighter, more professional finish. Covermaster also offers a range of windscreen installation accessories to complete the job. The grommet system makes panels easy to add, remove, or replace as needed.
Are the windscreens available in custom sizes?
Yes. Covermaster windscreens are available in both standard and custom sizes, so they can be fitted to existing fence runs without major modifications. Whether you need a few panels for one exposed side or full coverage around the entire ring, the screens can be ordered to fit. Contact Covermaster at 800-387-5808 to discuss sizing for your arena.
What colors are available?
Covermaster offers windscreens in multiple stock colors so you can coordinate the panels with your existing fencing and barn aesthetics. The exact color selection is best confirmed with Covermaster directly, as it can vary by fabric grade and weave. For branded panels, the digital print option supports full-color custom graphics on top of the base fabric.
Do windscreens help keep rain out of the arena too?
Solid and closed-weave windscreens help keep wind and rain from blowing into open-sided covered arenas, which is one of their stated benefits along with sun shading and privacy. For protecting the actual footing during a rainstorm, however, Covermaster's separate equestrian riding arena raincovers are the dedicated solution. Many facilities combine windscreens on the perimeter with a raincover over the footing.
What is the Raincover line and how does it relate to windscreens?
Beyond windscreens, Covermaster makes equestrian riding arena raincovers that protect arena footing from rain, the same way field tarps protect a baseball diamond. The lineup includes Raincover Max™ (RCM), Raincover Ultra™ (RCU), and Raincover Premier™ (RC600). They are deployed and rolled using the TARPMATE AIR™ Roller (TPMT-AR), which is compatible with a backpack blower for easier handling.
What is the TARPMATE AIR™ Roller?
The TARPMATE AIR™ Roller (SKU TPMT-AR) is Covermaster's inflatable roller designed to deploy and roll up arena raincovers and field tarps. It is backpack-blower compatible, which makes moving large covers a much easier, often one-person job. It is part of the accessory range that supports Covermaster's equestrian raincover system.
What types of riding disciplines and facilities use Covermaster equestrian products?
Covermaster's arena covers and screens are used at equestrian centers, dressage arenas, show jumping rings, hunter classes, rodeo rings, lunging circles, eurosizer rings, and horse racing tracks. Both backyard outdoor arenas and elite competition facilities use them. The goal across all of these is reducing weather-related downtime and creating a calmer, more controlled riding environment.
Why choose a windscreen and raincover instead of building a covered arena?
Covermaster positions its arena cover system as an economical alternative to building a covered riding arena, at a fraction of the cost and time. Rather than constructing a permanent roofed structure, a facility can add windscreens for wind and privacy and a raincover for the footing. It is described as the economical solution for reducing downtime caused by bad weather.
Is there a warranty on Covermaster windscreens?
Covermaster provides a Limited Warranty against defects in workmanship and materials. Note that the warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, tears or rips howsoever caused, damage from weather conditions including wind force, or damage to handles or grommets. The full warranty terms are available on Covermaster's Limited Warranty page, and the company can clarify coverage when you order.
