Our top tips to fitting your rug correctly:

Measuring your horse accurately is key. This can be done with a tape measure. Simply put one end of the tape in the centre of your horses chest and the other end on the horses buttocks where you would expect the rug to finish.

Horse rugs are sized in centimetres, inches or feet and inches. Please see associated images for sizing chart

When youve 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 the rug as long as it is in a saleable condition. A badly fitting rug will slip and could cause discomfort or even injury for the horse, and could result in damage to the rug itself.

How can I tell if the rug fits ?

The rug should fit well over the withers and the shoulders so that the horse can move freely without the rug slipping back. The straps should be tight enough to hold the rug in place, but not so tight that they cause the rugs shape to distort on the horses back. If too tight they may cause pressure points around the horses chest and wither area. Cross surcingles should be fastened so you can fit a hands breadth between the surcingles and the horses body. This means that the straps are tight enough to prevent legs becoming caught should the horse lie down, but not so tight to cause discomfort. If the rug has leg straps, they should be fastened so that the left strap is passed around the left hind leg and fastened back to the left side. The right strap should then pass around the right hind leg, loop through the left strap, and then fasten to the right side. There should be about 4-5 inches between the strap and the horses leg to prevent the rug slipping without causing the horse any discomfort. Please see attached images for sizing charts.

Please note the build of the horse will affect the fit of the rug, if your horse is heavy set you may need to go up a size. This is only a quide.
