Why our rugs are better than other brands
Finding a well-fitting rug for heavy horses is a challenge, most are too tight at the chest, restrictive at the shoulders, or simply not deep enough. That’s why we created a Broad Fit horse rug range specifically for broad-chested, deep-barrelled breeds like Cobs, Shires, Clydesdales, Percheron's, Suffolk Punch, Iberian breeds, European Draft Horses and other heavy horse breeds.
With our own unique size charts and deep-cut designs, our rugs provide the ultimate fit allowing freedom of movement, full coverage, and all-day comfort. Engineered for durability, practicality, and performance, Epic Equestrian has become the trusted choice for thousands of heavy horse owners worldwide.
Say goodbye to poor-fitting rugs and discover the difference with The Big Horse Shop.
Most horse rugs on the market are built using outdated sizing charts that don’t reflect the real anatomy of modern horses. The result? Rugs that are too tight at the shoulders, restrictive through the chest, and uncomfortable around the neck. Poorly placed front fastenings often create pressure points and soreness, while shallow cuts leave horses looking like they’re wearing mini-skirts, and size options rarely go beyond 7’0.
Our Regular Fit horse rug range changes that. Designed specifically for light to medium-weight horses with a deeper cut for full coverage, extra-large shoulder gussets for unrestricted movement, and an anatomically shaped chest and neckline that eliminates pressure and rubbing. Our exclusive sizing ensures the right fit every time.
