Both girls have 2x Shires no fill rugs, all rugs went for wash and repair and now everything seems slightly smaller? It could be that everyone has a little extra timber, but either way I need rug help.

The smaller pony isn't an issue, tried big pony's rug on her and it's a perfect fit. I don't think big pony's rug needs to be any longer, it just needs to be wider at the front.

Currently 13.2 New Forest is in a 5ft6 Shires Tempest, any recommendations for a no fill rug with good shoulder width at the front?

Shires Tempest and Typhoon rugs are only good for finer types, you need a Shires Highlander if yours is chunky! Brilliant rugs!

Swish are also good although mine is 2 years old and has already had a number of repairs for stitching coming away!
