Horses come in a variety of shapes and sizes. When it comes to rugs,the fit of the rug is all-important in order to ensure the comfort of your horse and to prevent rubbing and slippage of the rug. As horses of any given size vary so much in girth and build, it is essential to know correct measurements before purchasing your rug.
If your horse is between sizes it is usually better to go up a size than down, unless the horse is narrow chested or petite. Ideally, an existing rug in the correct size can be measured all the way along the bottom edge to give the size required.
