What size breastplate should I get for a 15hh Connemara? I’m getting a breastplate for my horse and I’m not sure what size to get, he’s not very chunky.

I'd go for cob but buy an adjustable one. My 16.2 ID has a full size and while it's not on the smallest holes, it's not far off them so it would swamp a 15hh fine one.

Depends entirely on how big his chest is (I've just bought a Full size elastic breastplate for my 15.1hh cob, and it's just about big enough. He just has a chest like a tank) so if he's not very chunky then I'd also go for Cob.

I would probably go for a cob size, but make sure it is adjustable. If he is really really chunky, then I might go for a full, but I think a cob size is far more likely to be a better fit!
