Horse size and rug size

[My_chestnut_mare]

My mare was sold as a 16hh

But she is more of 16.2hh ish

is of mw build(i think)

And is in a 6'6 rug


what height,build and rug size are your horses?

(out of interest)

 

[JessPickle]

17.1hh and in 6ft9 so he is fairly compact for his height really, other horses his size at the yard are in 7ft3 rugs. Also know a 15.3hh in 6ft9 rug.

My mare is 16.1hh 5 year old (hopefully may still grow another inch !) warmblood (Holstein x TB) She is in 6 ft 6 rugs, although 6ft 3" fit in length they are a little too tight across the chest.

 

[Hedwards]

well my old 16hh TB mare was in 6' (although did have a couple of 5'9" rugs that fit) i'm now using the exact same rugs for my current horse who is somewhere between 15.2 & 15.3hh CobX (i also managed to squeeze a 16.3hh TB loan i had into a couple of the rugs last year - although they we're a little like miniskirts!)

That's not funny I don't, do all my shopping on line apart from "the tack shop" of course.

Can't be doing with humans i'll stick to my animals, got a puppy as my OH

Think my cob is about 14.2h (though really should measure him!) and had to get 6' 6" rugs!! Tried 6' and only just big enough for him (backseam wise, and 6' 3" was same backseam length), so being 2 thought I'd get a bit bigger so it also fits later down the line.

 

[michelleice]

16.3hh DW meduim build as out of work hes on 6'9 (owner said 6'6 but nah to small)

 

[marmalade76]

Depends on the rugs. My horse is a 15.3 ID and has 6'6 turn out rugs 'cause he lives out 24/7 and I like them to cover his bum well. His under rug is 6'3 as I want it to be completely covered by the top rug. Most of my stable rugs are 6' & 6'3 and sweat/travel/day rugs are 6' as I don't like these to hang over his bum.
Also, different makes of rugs vary, some are more generous in fit than others.

 

[landyandy]

my 15.2/3hh irish draught mare is 6.9 ft rug
and my 16hh colured gelding is in a 7 ft
