    How to Measure Your Horse for the Best Rug Fit

    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.

    Choose the Best Fit for Your Horse

    • Broad Fit – Perfect for medium+, heavy horses / ponies, and draft breeds with deep barrels, broad chests, and muscular builds.
    • Regular Fit – Designed for light - medium weight horses and ponies with a regular sized chest and neck.

    With our exclusive size charts and deep-cut designs, you’ll find a rug that truly fits.

    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.

    Please Note:

    • All sizes provided in our size charts are approximate and intended as a guide only.
    • Measuring your horse before purchasing will help ensure the most accurate fit.

    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.

    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.

    Perfect fit for my show cob. First time buyer and wasn’t sure how the rug would compare to another brand that also specialises in wider horses. Bought to take to Blair Atholl International Horse Trials and it kept him lovely and warm (he’s fully clipped).
    Lovely deep fit ( no mini skirts here!) and cleared his shoulders perfectly. An amazing cut of rug for bigger,wider horses. Once he saves up his pocket money he can have another!!

    Great ft

    Had the rug a good few weeks, but weather now poor enough to rug the big lad.
    Bought the 7'6 for my 18hh2 and it fits great. Chest straps are strong, belly straps long and the tail flap is massive, and a great idea to stop it blowing up in the wind.

    Excellent quality and lovely fit

    This is the best fitting rug I have ever bought for my cob mare, who is broad, deep and quite long. It fits just as it should, not too tight around her chest and shoulders, comfortable over her withers and a perfect length, with a lovely broad tail flap for her 'substantial' rear end! It is a good weight for her as she is unclipped and fluffy so doesn't need a heavy rug but is also rising 21 years old with arthritis so needs to be kept at a comfortable temperature whilst out in the field. It feels good quality and I think it will last her many years to come.

    A good buy

    The light fill broad rug is just right for my fuller figure little cob. She can move around the field much better with the looser shoulder fit. Back end also no longer clinging, will buy again.

    I had these rugs for my cob years ago and they were fantastic. I now have a Connemara whose front is enormous and no rug fits so I thought after trying others I’d come back to here……… nothing has changed, the fit is brilliant and he is warm and dry!!!! Such good rugs for chunky monkeys!

    Fits a treat on my very broad gypsy cob. The cut of the neck means it’s doesn’t pull across his shoulders. Very pleased

    Tight across the chest.

    I had this rug with a thicker filling last winter and it was a really good fit.
    The one I have just got is as perfect a fit in the length as the previous one but is tighter across the chest. No difference in the size of the horse but I didn’t want to change it due to the good fit in the length.
