Rug dilemma (sizing)

[Casey76]

When I can't handle the grooming any more I'll be clipping my pony and rugging accordingly (she is a mud monster and grows a coat like a yak)

Unfortunately she is right on the cusp between pony rugs and horse rugs in length (I measured her as needing a 5'3", however a 5'6" rain sheet from Decathlon doesn't look too big)

My concern is that if I buy a 5'3" pony rug it won't be deep enough as she is very deep (recent pic from Aug)

But also, if a rug comes up big, it will be hanging off her.

As I will be importing any rugs from the UK, t will be difficult to send anything back if it doesn't fit.

Suggestions, or recommendations for brands?

TIA

hi how big is she your photo may be deceptive but she looks bigger than our 14.2hh that took a 5ft 6" rug.

I like Premier Equine for horses with big bodies - used them with my last horse who looked like he was wearing a mini skirt in most rugs, but PE are great, deep rugs. They come up quite big and long IME so you could go for the smaller size. Mine was a 6ft9 or 7ft depending on make and PE 6ft3 were absolutely perfect for him. Worth a try

I think amigos would be a good fit. They aren't too long in the body. Get a 5'6 and it should be fine on her

my pony is 13.2 and is between 5'3 and 5'6 too - pony rugs come up short on his legs. but 5'3 ones are a bit tight and horse 5'6 are too big but have been recommended amigo for him too but havent tried one yet.so they sound like they may be good. my h-zone one is too deep and hangs off him though so would avoid those.
