my horse measures 6ft and normally takes a 6ft rug.

only thing is bought a WB thermo-cell cooler 6'3 and it doesnt smother my pony fits just right.

are wb the same sizings with their turnout rugs? so shd i order a 6ft or 6ft'3? are they true to size, come up small or big?

any feedback wld be great as wanting to order rug asap
 
My boy is a 6'6-6'9 in rugs though mainly a 6'6 and all his weatherbeetas are a 6'6. He has the Landa Light/Light-Med/Medium combo and the heavy weight and all except the heavyweight are 6'6 (the heavyweight was in the sale and only a 6'9 left). generally i find them fairly generous, hope this helps?
PS Have tried him a WB summer sheet and 6'6 didn't fit but the Freestyle in the turnout rugs really help and Freestyle defo fit better than the old style in my opinion.
 
Hey

Depends my WB summer sheet didnt fit my hw cob but the WB turn outs were fab and he took a 7ft. In my opinion th efreestyle is pants but that is for v HW nags as the front was too tight where as the old style with the shoulder gusset fitted so much better. As i have said thats my findings and opinions.

Hope this helps xx
 
i find they are pretty true length wise but on broader/chunkier types you have to go up a size as personally i think they are a bit narrow in the shoulder & chest
 
Ginny takes 6ft 3 rugs and she fitted fine into her WB. She had a freestyle - don't know if the style makes any difference??
Just to say Ginny is a wide horse too - and the rug fit perfectly

The WB landa freestyle is spot on for Cappy, so much so he has all weights they do in it! He is a long horse, 7ft rug, but narrow in the front, with a massive movement from the shoulder ( he is a Gelderlander) So they are great for him, I think anyone with a chunkier horse may stuggle with the fit across the front.
