Rug for big made horses

[FfionWinnie]

Friend has a chunky broodmare, big neck, big belly, big bum, oh and a big chest. Currently wearing a weatherbeeta which looks ridiculous. It's ok length wise but too small in the aforementioned places.

Any suggestions for a medium turnout around the 50quid mark to suit this build?

The big horse shop do rugs for the chunkier draught types, not hugely expensive and they tend to have sales

Hmm she isn't as chunky as a draught, she's a quarter horse sorry I should have said that before. I know Rambo do a QH rug but they are out of her budget just now.

Also she has measured the current rug and reckons its 6ft10 but the horse measures 5ft8 and I can't see how that can be right? Tricky helping long distance.

My broad welshie is in amigo which fits perfectly without anything sticking out . Amigo xl of for extra broad shouldered horse and fits perfectly on our Belgian draft. So can't seem to go wrong there I would say.

Lol the amigo XL didnt do up around my friesians chest I went through 5 or 6 makes before trying TBHS ones

The horse is 15.2, does anyone think it can possibly be wearing a 6ft9/7ft rug??

yes, my irish draught mare is around 15.2, and her rugs size is 7ft.

Ok thanks that's reassuring.

Thanks all, I will pass on the comments to my friend and hopefully she will get the right size!
