Most popular/sought after rug sizes??

[Hels_Bells]

I was thrilled to find out today that I had won 2 rugs in a competition. I have never won anything in my life before!!! Although I don't really really need any new rugs I was quite excited until I saw the colours which are not quite my thing, so I was thinking I might sell them on, probably on the bay of e, so the money can go towards something I really want or need.

I can have any size I like so in order to maximize profits I was wondering which is the most sought after or profitable size??!!

I've had a few horses between 15.3hh and 16.2hh and they've all worn 6'3". That might be a good size.

I recently sold a rug on ebay which was 6' and had quite a few bidders on it.

Maybe 6' - 6'3" which is not too big and not too small.

How long is a piece of string? lol As a horse owner I would say 6ft 6 but then pony owners would say no and larger horse owners would say no!

Lucky you winning some rugs though

I would say between 5ft9 and 6ft3, they are definitely the sizes that seem to go most quickly in rug sales.

Well done on winning!

I clean rugs and the majority I get are between 6' and 6'9" - not really narrowing it down for you

Having worked in a saddlery on and off for years, I'd def say 5ft9-6ft3.

 

[Paint Me Proud]

i would say 5ft9 or 6ft0 are the most popular, they seem too sell out first on websites (i know because they're my horses sizes and they never had any reduced sale rugs left when i find them!)

 

[Angelbones]

Funny cos I'd have said 5'6, 6'6. These are the sizes I always need and are never in stock!

 

[treacle_beastie]

i'd say 6'3 - never in stock!

 

[FanyDuChamp]

7ft- they are never in the sales!

ooh, what have you won? I'm always in the market for rugs - I currently need 4'9 and 6'3. Let me know what you've won - might save you the hassle of using the bay of e

 

[Kallibear]

6'3. or a 6' seems to fit most horses.

 

[Hels_Bells]

Brilliant - thanks so much everyone!! That is so helpful!

Zoon - I will PM you tomorrow if that's ok as I'm late for a night out and in trouble with hubby

Every horse on our yard seems to be 6ft6, including a 17hh Shire X and a 15.2hh Welsh Cob

 

[Shilasdair]

7'3 or 7'6.
Honest.

Ditto !!! drives me mad

 

[horse_lover]

I would definately say 6'6 I can never find them and they seem to sell at quite high prices on ebay

 

[miss_bird]

no help really but anything 4'6-9" or 5'9-6'6" they are the sizes i always want and they are eith sold out or not in the sale

 

[spotty_pony]

I would say probably 6ft - 6ft3.
