Le Mieux rug sizing?

[KikiDee]

Can anyone tell me what the rug sizing on LM tends to come up like?

I'm tempted by their showerproof Sweet-itch rug as seems to be the only brand that offers one. I normally just chuck a 0g over the top of pony's sweet-itch rug if needed, but the weather is so up and down lately but too warm for me to risk taking the SI rug off as if the wind drops even slightly and he gets bitten he will start rubbing. So I thought this could actually be quite a useful rug to have to save him trundling round in all his layers!

He is normally in a 6'0 in his Shires sweet-itch rugs but 6'3 for turnouts as they tend to come up a bit short on the bum. But when I've sized up in SI rugs before I find the belly flap is then too long.

mine is 6”0 in everything except shires, so i’d probably size up! i always size up for fly rugs too

Do you think the Shires are quite generous then? I did size up on the Shires rug once as always size up on fly rugs but the belly flap was too long which means he manages to wee in it no matter how tight I put it on

Have to be honest I've had him for 21 years and always assumed he was 6'0 but recently chucked my other horses 6'3 turnout rug on him as his was soaking wet and thought "oh that's actually a good fit"

I've just bought the LM sweet itch version and it seems true to size to me.
