Best Fitting Heavy Horse Turnout Rug
Many heavy horse owners struggle to find high quality turnout rugs that fit their horse properly and often deal with rugs being too tight in the shoulders, too restrictive in the chest with front closure fastenings being too high up which cuts into their neck and causes pressure and soreness over the withers, and are too short in depth often looking like a mini-skirt.
Just like you, as heavy horse owners ourselves we too struggled with these same issues.
Unlike other brands our heavy horse turnout rugs are designed specifically for broad chested, deep barrelled, big shouldered horses and ponies. We have created the best fitting horse rugs to eliminate these common issues whilst providing your horse with the maximum comfort, unrestricted movement and protection against the elements.
With our own unique size charts we have revolutionised heavy horse rugs to fit your horses anatomy correctly with a larger cut neckline to accommodate the broader chest, thick muscular neck and powerful shoulders. Chest fastenings strategically placed to accommodate the lower set necks of heavy breeds including cobs, shires, clydesdales, percheron’s, Suffolk punch’s, Iberian horses, European draft horses and more. Extra large shoulder gussets to provide your horse with unrestricted full freedom of movement. Extra rug depth so NO MORE MINI-SKIRTS! Supersized tail flap offering complete coverage for voluptuous apple-bottoms.
Say goodbye to ill-fitting rugs and upgrade your horses comfort and protection to a heavy horse rug that truly fits!

Size Advice
Model: 17.2hh heavyweight Irish Draught wearing 7'0 Broad Fit who requires a large broad fit neck cover
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.

I love that I have found a brand of rugs that fit my cob so well! And they are such great quality. He’s definitely getting a whole new wardrobe!
Perfect fit for my 16.1hh IDSH - I usually need a chest extender with other branded rugs. Extremely happy with quality. True to size. Would highly recommend & will buy again.
Second order from the Big Horse shop. As described, true fit, deep skirt, really well made. You do pay a little more than the standard 'off the shelf' smaller size rugs but in my opinion it is worth every penny. Will definitely order again.
I have far too many BHS rugs, I appear to be addicted to buying them. Every one is great, even the essential ones which as far as I can tell just have different clips on them. The material is the same so I know it will be totally waterproof and not leak. Lovely rugs. I do now go down a size as my ISH changed shape and the correct size was getting a little big around the chest. But one size down is perfect for him
