We bought our Section B in May and she can with nothing but a summer sheet. I bought her a Premier Equine Fly Rug which is roomy but OK. She's 5ft so not a lot of companies go much smaller! I then tried Swish over the fly rug to try on which I thought was fine but when I went to put one on tonight it was so low on her chest - hanging down - that would never have kept her front end dry! So I'm thinking Swish are too generous round the front for her as doesnt come up high enough. I have them for my broad Cob X and they fit him really well. It's typical as we bout about 4 rugs and 4 liners from Swish thinking we'd cracked it! I have also bought the new Pink one from HW which I think is fine but going to double check that one tomorrow too! She does have a shires Tikiboo rain sheet which does seem to fit her well so wondering if to stay with Shires or if any other recommendations. She's quite a dainty little thing.

Ruggles or Amigo’s fit our dainty Sec B well, Shires aren’t a bad fit size wise but the belly straps are too long.

I do find that with the belly straps on the Tikiboo rug I have! Are all of your 600 or 900D? That's all they seem to be nowadays unless you go for the Bravo!

Shires are good rugs you’d probably want the tempest or typhoon ones though as the highlander is better for chunky types (similar to swish).

Horsewear Amigo are also pretty narrow. The section B at my yard has a few le mieux rugs they come up quite narrow too x

The Shires is a Typhoon which I believe is an 800D (maybe slightly more), his Amigo is ancient and I couldn’t tell you the denier of this one (both of those are rain sheets). My absolute favourite is the Ruggles 50g one though, fits brilliantly and has a 1600D outer, Ruggles would always be my go to for him now.
