Horse rugs are an excellent accessory for your companion, but ensuring you get the correct size to keep your horse comfortable is important. The wrong horse rug can cause rubbing and sore spots, so it's best to measure before you buy. Here’s our guide to measuring your horse for a rug.
How to measure a horse for a rug
-
Firstly, grab a friend to help you out and ensure you have an extra long measuring tape. If you don’t, use a rope or length of twine, then measure this afterwards.
-
Measure horizontally from the centre of the chest to the end of the rump for UK sizing. Convert the measurement into feet and inches.
-
For European sizing, measure from the withers across the back to the top of the tail.
-
If you already have a well-fitting rug, you could measure this by laying it flat.
-
When your new rug arrives, check it fits your horse properly, and then you’re ready to go.
