What size rug for a 12.2 pony?

[Mary Poppins]

As title really.

Just bought my Daughter a new pony, a 12.2hh Welsh Sec A. She's slightly on the lean side (because of laminitis) and didn't come with any rugs. Been promised a shopping trip to Ingatestone the weekend and don't really know what size she would be.

Any ideas?

Our 12.2hh used to be in 5ft and 5ft3 if thats any use

^^This. My 13hh is in 5'3" standard neck, 5'6" full neck. But it really depends on how long the pony's back is.

Our 12 hh is in a 5 ft

Our welsh b is 12.2 and has a 5ft rug.

My welsh C is 12.2hh and 5ft but as she's quite wide some rugs don't fit very well. Horseware is pretty good for her but masta and weatherbeeta don't fit very well at all.

Can't you just measure her or ask previous owners if she's not yet arrived with you?

Our 12.2 Welsh B has previously had laminitis and is also sometimes on the lean side. He wears a 4ft 9" rug and occasionally a 5ft.
A welsh A Mountain pony breed standard is 12 hands max. Are you sure she is an A?

12.2 is pretty big for a section A.
My 11hh section A had 5 foot rugs
My 12.2 riding pony takes 5 ft - 5 ft 3.

Tbh I'm not too sure if she is a section A, she was just advertised as a Welsh X. I'm assuming a sec A as she is quite dainty - think I will have to do some reading up on the breed!

Alot of you have said a 5 foot rug, I think I will try that size.

Thanks guys.
