Gypsy cob

[Millzwoolz]

I have a chunky 14.2hh gypsy cob, what size fly rug?

if it is for the field,then measure as you would for a normal rug (centre of chest to bum) but if a ride on one then not sure.

my 14`2 has a 6.3 and my 14` is 5`9 so no proper answer as you need to measure.
too big and it will ride back and pull on the shoulders.

I mesuraged 5'9 but it's too big.

I mesuraged 5'9 but it's too big.

Not all makes fit all horses, it's trial and error

 

[Millzwoolz]

I know that. I was just wondering what people thought

For guidance: I have two gypsy cobs (must need head read LOL).

One (mare) is 13.2 and VERY chunky; she takes a 5'9 fly rug.

Gelding is 15.1 and takes a 6'3.

Oh - appreciate not a Gypsy cob but have a Welsh D (very fine type) who also takes a 6'3.

What you really need is to try a few sizes: is there anyone else at your yard with rugs you could try? That would be helpful.

Mine is a 14.2hh traditonal cob. Very chunky but short and compact. Hes 6 foot. Only a few makes fit. Shires and Amigo are my go tos for him.
