I have a problem with rug sizes!!
Both my mares are...well were a 5'9. I've had them for nearly 4 years and they've both either bulked out or my rugs have shrunk slightly.
A 5'9 rug fits too tightly around the chest, although the buckles do up, the velcro comes apart, revealing their chests and is a tad short. A size 6' rug fits superb in length, but is slightly too loose around their chests, although its better fitted than a 5'9. I use weethabeeta rugs and i can't help but find their rugs all abit too tight across the front. They rip easily too!
Can anyone suggest a brand of rugs that will suit a more broad chested horse?
I always put a bib on both my mares to avoid any rubbing, but i'm not entially comfortable with the horses having too loose or too tight rugs on. I feel mean!! Although they don't seem to bothered.
