Buying the right size of rug

When buying any rug for your horse to wear, fit is key, and should never
be underestimated.  If you’ve bought the most amazing rug with a whole
range of features it could potentially cause more harm than good if it is ill fitting.

The good news is that it is not hard to achieve
a good fit - here are our top tips:

Measure your horse
-This can be done with a tape measure. Simply put one end of the tape
in the centre of your horse’s chest and the other end on the horse’s
buttocks where you would expect the rug to finish.

Horse rugs are sized in centimetres, inches or feet and inches
- make sure you check what size rug you are getting as a 66”
will not fit a 6’6” horse.

When you’ve bought the rug, take it home and try it on your horse over
a clean bedsheet or clean summer sheet- make sure you leave all the tags on.
If the rug fits then remove the tags and use, if not, you will be able to return for
either an exchange or refund.
