16.2 TB mare- 6ft 6 rugs, full headcollar/bridle/ 17.5 m/mw saddle
15.2 TB gelding 6ft3 or 6ft6 rugs, can do cob or full head collars and bridles, 17.5 mw saddle
16.2 IDx mare (now deceased) 6ft9 rugs, full or extra full headcollar/bridle, 18 w saddle
16.0 IDx gelding- he can wear the 6ft9 but they're not really a good fit, he needs a chest expander, so more like a 7ft, needs extra full bridles/headcollars, thankfully wears the same saddle!

Breed: WBxTB
Height: 16.1hh
Weight: Not entirely sure. Weigh Tape said 504kg last time I weighed him but he is being weighed today so will know tonight (He's a fatty bum atm so will be more)!
Rug size: 6ft3 in most but Shires 6ft6 fits best as he is long with teeny tiny shoulders.
Saddle size: 17.5in, Medium/Wide, high wither
Bridle size: Full but have had to have crank noseband strap shortened. May need cob flash instead of full as on top hole. Full size browband is a little tight but does fit. (weird long but tiny nosed head!)
Saddle pad/numnah size: Full
Boots:Full size in all inc overreach

Height - 15.3
weight - we operate a don't ask don't tell policy :) (both of us)
Headcoller -full
saddle - made to measure wide
bridle - interestingly still using the bridle made for my first pony (arab/welsh) on the big guy (andy/arab x) think if I remember right it has full cheek pieces, cob browband and head piece and a full length nose band strap attached to a cob size strap for round the nose (oddly this was made to measure too - saddler that made it hadn't seen my lad just used my old bridle as a template and asked what the heck I had :))

15.1 Appy (2 and a half years old)
Headcollar - fits both Cob and Full
Bridle - tried one on his last night and he's in a Full
Rug Size - I'm guessing by winter 6'2 maybe but I always find them to big in the chest for him but they for fine everywhere else

A is fairly standard I'd say. He's a 16.3 ID x something (middleweight) about 620kgs. 6'9" rugs, extra large snuggy hood, full sized everything else. He could wear an XL headcollar where that size exists but is just as comfy in a full sized one on the last holes all round. His head is slightly larger than the rest of him, but he's relatively normal.

M on the other hand... 17hh TB x Shire x Sec C about 640kgs. Really distinct elements of each, small ponyish head, long but thin neck, huge shoulders, very wide in the back and enormous a**e! Legs have incredible welsh / shire feathers but underneath are very spindly. He wears 7' rugs, extra large snuggy hood to accommodate his shoulders and the length of his neck but it's enormous on his daft little head. Cob sized headcollar and bridle, pony (yes pony!) sized brushing boots in front, cob behind. Although they're a bit short, bigger sizes won't stay up as his legs are so narrow. He has full sized travelling boots however as the length from knee /hock to hoof is considerable! How he's stayed sound for 19 years (give or take a couple of accidental injuries) I'll never know!
