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.

SIZE GUIDE

This item is true to size and we recommend opting for your horse's usual size.

If your current horse rug is a good fit in length from your horse's chest - hind, but you find the horse rug is tight at the chest area, try that same size in our horse rugs.

If you have sized up with your current horse rug to get more room in the chest and the overall length from chest-hind is too long, try the size down in our horse rugs.

Really good rug

Good Quality. As described.
Good fit across shoulders and chest. Doesn’t come apart across his chest when his head is down grazing.
Value for money.
Me and the big boy are very happy with it.

Rug fittings

Very pleased with actual rug
But disappointed with catches poor quality in comparison to other rugs I’ve purchased in the past from you

No complains

This rug fits perfekt and the quality is very good.

Great for the broader Fell Pony

Super rug , great quality , one of the best I’ve bought, I will definitely purchase from this company again.

Great rug for big horses

This is a brilliant rug, loads of room in the shoulders and deep enough to cover her belly. I’ve got a big shire cross and most ‘normal’ rugs barely cover her.
Had it for 2 winters now and it’s wearing well so far, washes up nicely.
