And if so how tall is it?

Just curious really, for some reason I have bought my yearling a load of 6'0" rugs to grow into (they were cheap

).

I'm guessing (and hoping) that will be her adult size which I think will be around the 14.2hh-15.0hh mark, am I anywhere close?

Depends on the size of the shoulders, but my friends horse is 15.2 and takes a 6 ft.

My horse is 16.3 and takes a 7'3"!! He has large shoulders.
 
My 15 hander welsh cross TB wears Horseware 6'0.My yearling 7/8 TB also is in the same rugs.She will make approx 16.2-currently 15.2 ish and identical to her mum who is 16.2 and wears Horseware 6'9" when expecting and 6'6" when not!
 
She's a Cobby type so it sounds like I am about right then. I don't mind if she grows bigger then 15hh though as I'm over 6'0 tall.

Hopefully if she is too big for 6'0" rugs then she'll fit in Charlie's 6'6" rugs, knowing my luck she will be smack bang in the middle

Vinnie is 18months old he is in 6ft that is fitting him perfectly right now (weatherbeeta) i have just bought a 6ft3 heavyweight weatherbeeta oricon that fits him prettywell to
 
Yes. Both mine do, which is helpfull as I just swap rugs between them. One is a 15.1hh anglo arab (who in fairness would probably fit a 5'9'' but he is happy in my 6footers! The other is a 15.3hh dutch warmblood who fits this size very well.
 
my 15.2 tb wears a 6ft rug but check the depth - i foolishly brought 4 saxon 6'9" rugs last year (for my other neddies) - only they are too short in the length so a nice little round belly can be seen- so now will only use them as stable rugs when it gets really cold, over a longer under rug.

I am also checking out sending them off to have an extra bit sewn on them - but if i had thought to check when i got them, i would have taken them straight back !
