Size Guides

Ensuring the perfect fit is essential for your horse’s comfort, freedom of movement, and protection against rubbing or slipping. At The Big Horse Shop, we understand that not all horses fit standard rug sizes, which is why we’ve designed rugs specifically for both heavy horses and light to medium-weight breeds.

Our size guide will help you determine the best fit for your horse, whether they have a broad chest and deep barrel or a more light-medium build. With unique size charts tailored to different body shapes, our rugs offer superior coverage and a secure, non-restrictive fit.

You can find the size chart for each rug under the 'Size Chart' tab on the product page, so there’s no need to refer back to this guide. If you need further assistance, our team is always happy to help visit our Contact Us page to get in touch.

We always recommend trying an item on before use, especially when trying a different style. This is in case you need to return it for a smaller size, you are able to do so. If your horse is in-between sizes, we recommend opting for the bigger size, however, with horse rugs that have a back seam, they sit more contoured to the horse's body which can sometimes give a more generous fit. Some customers have found they can sometimes go down 1 size in rugs with a back seam when their horse is in-between sizes.

How to Measure Your Horse for the Best Rug Fit

Finding the right rug size is essential for your horse’s comfort and protection. Follow these simple steps to measure your horse accurately:

  1. Use a fabric tape measure or twine for precision.
  2. Start at the center of the chest, where the rug would fasten.
  3. Measure along the side of the body, following the curve of the shoulder, in a straight line to the furthest point of the hindquarters - not all the way to the tail. We recommend placing a broom behind your horse's hind and measuring to that point.
  4. For the most accurate results, measure in centimeters and take the measurement 2-3 times.

This measurement serves as a size guide to help you choose the correct rug. If you need expert advice, call us at 01254 279666 we'd be more than happy to help!

Biting insects don't stop when you're in the saddle — and now neither does your horse's protection. Our Classic Zebra Ride-On Fly Rug is designed specifically for broader, heavier horses, giving you and your horse the confidence to ride comfortably throughout the summer months.

Innovative zebra stripes inspired by the research of Susanne Åkesson and Tim Caro naturally deter flies, midges and biting insects from landing on your horse. Providing an exceptional shield to reduce summer stress — no chemicals, no sprays, just proven science working all day.

Unlike off-the-shelf sizing, every rug in our Broad Fit range is developed using measurements taken from real broader, heavier horses — so the fit is precise, not guesswork. The rug comes in two pieces that attach together with heavy duty double locking velcro tabs. The front piece features a fixed integrated neck cover, designed specifically for muscular necks and long manes, with a bridle tab for added security. The back piece features a saddle cut out, giving you full access to the saddle whilst keeping your horse covered. Our fit-first design gives your horse complete freedom of movement, with a larger cut neckline to accommodate a broader chest, thick muscular neck and big shoulders, and lower chest fastenings that follow your horse's natural shape, eliminating pressure at the neck and over the wither.

No more mini skirts! All of our rugs have the correct rug depth so your horse is fully covered and protected from the elements, including a substantial tail flap.

Pair with our Classic Nylon Fly Mask for complete coverage and protection whilst you ride.

  • Proven zebra pattern
  • Strong, lightweight mesh outer
  • Highly breathable
  • Breathable antibacterial and anti-static lining over the mane, chest and shoulder area and tail flap
  • Approximately 70% UV protection
  • A larger cut neckline for broader chests, big shoulders, thick muscular necks and long manes
  • Fixed integrated neck cover with an extension for full coverage whilst grazing
  • 2 pieces: front and back piece attached with velcro tabs
  • Substantial tail flap
  • Twin chest buckles
  • Tail fillet string
  • Broad Fit for medium+ - heavy horses, ponies and draft breeds
  • Size range: Small - Extra Large (5'6 - 8'0)
