I can't believe my 2 year old fits his 6'9 rugs that i bought to see him through to maturity now!! they sit perfectly on him already!! I've looked and manufacturers only seem to do rugs up to 7' or sometimes 7'3!! Is he likely to stay at this length? he's warmblood and stands at 16.1hh (out of a 15.2 mare!!! lol!!!) how many rug sizes did your big 2 year olds go up between this age and full grown?
 
Ha ha! Had to put a rug on my rising two year old tonight as the rain is awful! It's 6'6 and doesn't fit!!! His shoulders seem to have broadened out and he must have got longer! Was hoping he'll fit my 6'9s but seems he may need bigger! He's full trakhener but mum and dad were both 17hh and he's 16.2 already and not two til end of this month!
 
lots and lots !! from a 3"6 to a 5"9 .. but im mean and dont put them on him haha!! i want him to have these few years as a proper hairy horse .. dont want him getting wimpy! and fingers crossed will be in work and need rugs the rest of his winters! :) xx

Well my girl was in 6ft 9in when i got her as a 16.1hh 3yo. i thought they were too tight at the time so bought new 7ft ones. A year later she was in 7ft 3in. Now as a 17hh 11yo she is in 7ft 6in.
