[traceyann]

I dont know how it happened but some man has offered me Andulasdan for meat money so i got him he really nice the reason he was going for meat he has sweetitch and he cant be bothered with him i dont know much about the breed can someone tell me more about them and also he 15 hand little underweight but not to bad what size rug would he need

Good on you for taking him on! I don't know much about the breed, other than that he will fill out body and neck wise once he has gained condition. When I acquired my now 21 year old 15.3 TB in 1992 he was a skinny 3 year old and fitted into a 5 foot 9 rug, but soon outgrew it and is now in a 6 foot 3.

If I were you I would maybe start with a 6.0 and see where you go from there. Good luck with him!

the breed are very hardey, noble and intellegent, not to mention kind.

rug size, try a 6 foot or 6"3, they tend ot be fairly thin skinned so will proberley need heavy weights.
