SIZE GUIDES

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HORSE FOR A RUG

With a fabric tape measure or twine, measure from the middle of the chest where the rug would fasten, around the curves of the shoulder, following the body in a straight line to the furthest point of the hind quarters - but not all the way to the tail. We recommend measuring in cm for the most accuracy and to be sure you have got the correct measurement, it is a good idea to measure 2-3 times. This measurement can be used as a guide for your rug size, if you are still unsure please call 01254 279666 for further help.

Epic rugs are now available in our original heavy horse Broad Fit, for heavy weight horses & ponies, and a Regular Fit, for light-medium weight horses & ponies.

Fabulous Rug

After buying 4 Boett Rugs for my Clydesdale mare that she destroyed into tatters I decided to buy the big horse shop sweetitch rug and wow it’s been a life saver. I have to say she has ripped a part of the tail but it’s still functional. By far the best rug I have ever bought. Thanks to Gemma for her advice.

Game changer rug

After purchasing more expensive rugs In the past £200+ for each one and was wrecked within a matter of days I finally purchased the epic Sweetitch rug in 7’3” and it’s been perfect, only one little tear on the ear where she caught herself on the door hinge. This rug is a saviour as the weather is still mild and lots of midges around and she’s hardly bothered to scratch.

Thank you to Gemma for her fabulous advice and fabulous rug x
