Exercise Rugs

About to bid on ebay but confused by sizings? How do they work?

Equestrian Clearance says 4"6 is equivalent to cob - but seller says it fits her 16.2hh horse?
Would 4"6 fit a 15hh ISH - size 6ft rugs? Don't want to bid for it if it's going to be huge on him!

Thanks in advance

I've got 5' on my 16.2hh TB who takes a 6'6 rug, it's fractionally long but not dreadfully so

4'6 sounds about right for a horse that's in 6' rugs

Ta very much - I shall get bidding then

The general advice seems to be to take 2' off regular rug sizing, so I'm told.

Good Luck.

4'9 fitted my 6' mare perfectly
4'9/5' fits my 6'3 mare well

If its a little bit to big you can fold it back at the front. I used to work in Newmarket and thats what we would do

5' fits my boy who takes a 6ft9 boy! so guessing he isn't average haha
