If your horse takes a 6ft3 rug, how tall is he/she?

[Bojingles]

My cob's a bit over 14.3 and is in a 6'3" mainly because her big barrel of a chest and apple bum take it up!

 

[horsemad32]

Thanks all, was for interest not accurate height prediction!! I have a 15hh of only slightly lighter build who takes a 6ft, so we were guessing 15.2hh-ish! Will do the string test - had forgotten about that!

 

[Elsiecat]

16.1hh TB.. again!

 

[dizzyneddy]

My ISH mare is 16hh & fits in this size rug

 

[Cinnamontoast]

My 15.1 is in a 6'3. He's a chunky cob. Friend who works in a tack shop says it's the most common size.

 

[starryeyed]

My 16hh tall and spindley mare wears a 6'3" rug, my 15hh connie also wore a 6'3" or 6'6" rug x

 

[Wagtail]

16.1 TB, 15.3 WB and 16.1 WB.

 

[MagicMelon]

I've got two in 6'3 rugs - a 16hh Luso x TB and a 17.1hh warmblood...!

 

[Archangel]

15.2 Arab and 15.2 heavyweight chunkster (it is a Rambo XL).

15.3 ArabxWelshxTB

 

[Grinchmass]

My 15hh cob x tb takes 6/6"3 depending on make. My friends 16hh shire x takes the same size. The 16.2 3yo sports horse also takes the same size.... The cob on the yard is about 14.2/3 and also takes this size... My old 16.3 took 7ft rugs... So as to what height yours will make... How longs a piece of string (literally - try the string test )

My Highland, just under 14.2 is a 6'3".

 

[windand rain]

my highlands are 13hh and 13.1 and they both take a 6ft rug they do tend to look like they are wearing granny's nighty as they are too deep for them but they only just fit lengthways

 

[Slightlyconfused]

16hh WB

 

[Starry_eyes]

16.3 chunky tb. He has the exact same rugs, type and size, as the 14.1 highland in the next stable

 

[Holzdweaver]

My old mare was in a 6'3" rug and she was 14.3hh. My TB is in a 6' rug and he is 15.3hh

 

[suzi]

15.3 and he's a Dales x TB

 

[LittleGinger]

15.1hh PRE - varies on brand whether she's 6ft or 6ft3.

 

[BentleyBelly]

14.2hh Welsh Cob with massive shoulders!

 

[Theocat]

16hh TB x Connemara - Shires fit best. I'm sure I remember someone on here saying once that 6'3" can be made to fit anything!

 

[Captain Bridget]

Mine takes a 6ft 3 and is a 16.1hhTB

Mine is the same as this. Although depending on the make he can take a 6ft sometimes too.

 

[Spottyappy]

My 16.1hh TBx wore one, and now my 14.3hh welsh cob wears the same size. As others have said she is broad,so takes the length up because of that.

 

[cobwithattitude]

15.1hh cob 6' 6" or 6' 9" rug depending on make. He's a big boy.

 

[Battytwoll]

She's 15.1hh and wears this size and my last share who also wore a 6'3" was a 14.2hh welsh D
