Hi,

I am after some advice/recomendations.
I have a 16.1 warmblood hunter, he takes a 6'3 rug which gives him plently of length but they are always too tight across the chest, I have tried chest extenders but they dont seem to sit right, does any one know of a rug company that cater for these shapes? I have heard that Masta are quite generous in the sizes.

Any suggestions??

weatherbeeta are great for our broad ISHs
masta are also generous
and if you're feeling generous this Christmas for your horse, the Rambo XL is made specifically for broad chested WB types
......... least I think it's the XL - always photographed with a black horse with a flowing mane, anyway

I find amigo, rhino & bucas particularly come up too narrow
 
I've got a cob x WB and he is fairly chunky, he wears a weatherbeeta Orican with a hood, it fits really well and has never rubbed. Still in the right place after a good roll and a buck.
 
Another vote for weatherbeta, my mid weight cob has a heavy weight turn out which fits well, but also shires aren't too bad either.
 
i use Fal rugs on my big chested chunky monkey . no other rug fits well enough. fantasic rugs last for years. Fal Commander is also great ive had mine 4 years now, its like the Rambo Duo.
 
I found the opposite. We had 4 Mark Todd rugs on our yard. 2 Turnouts and 2 stable rugs all different models. Despite having adjustable fronts they were all narrow and rubbed.

The Amigos on the other hand are fine. You do need to go up a size though. My 16hh is in 6'6 and my old 15.2 mare was in 6'3's. But they fit well all over.
