What size rugs do your 15.2 tbs wear?

[mudmonkey17]

As title really. Getting new horse that a tb and can't decide whether to go for 6ft or 6ft 3 rugs. Need to get her a stable rug for when she arrives and want to get one at your horse live. Have asked owners but no reply yet x

I doubt you need 6ft 3 our 16.1hh's wear 6ft 3 and they are roomy

 

[FfionWinnie]

My 14.3 with ginormous quarter horse bum but otherwise tb shaped is between a 5ft9 and a 6. Both are ok but the 6 is roomy so I'd agree with captain mouse. 6ft should be ideal.

My 16hh tb wore a 6.3 and my 15.2s are both in 6ft.

My 15.2 wears 6'3/6'6 he's fine and lanky.

 

[horseywelsh]

found 6ft fine on my old 15.2 TB

 

[mudmonkey17]

Thanks for those
My 15.2 cob in 6'3 to 6'6 depending on make so thought she would be slightly smaller. Have a 6ft turnout which should fit just wanted a stable rug for when she arrives x

My 15.2 TB type (small and compact) is perfect in a 6'3"

 

[mudmonkey17]

Thanks Thistle now am not sure lol will have to hope current owners get back to me before she arrives

 

[Jesstickle]

Mine is a weedy 4yo but she'll fill a 6'3'' when she puts on some bl00dy weight the skinny cow bag! She did in the summer

6'3 at least on my 15.2 TB mare, but she's fairly long backed. Other 15.2-16.1 Tb's wear 6' and my 16.3 is only 6-6'3.

 

[seaofdreams]

My 15.2 tb fits in a 6ft but in some brands he is a 5ft9 !!

 

[LizzyandToddy]

15 1hh....6ft 6 rug But then I joke he is more like a dachshund anyway

 

[Shipley]

My old mare was 6ft.

 

[Equilibrium Ireland]

My 15.2 TB mare is in a Rambo 6'6". She's long backed but also has a huge butt and wide chest.

[hayinamanger]

My 15h ISH x Dales needs a 6'6", 14.2 tradi cob 6'3"

 

[wench]

6ft

 

[Roasted Chestnuts]

Depending on the nake 6ft or 6.3

Masta, weatjerbeeta, saxon and axioms were what my mare had and all but the last we're 6fts the axioms were 6.3

It would depend on her length and type. Our flat type TBs have 6'. There are some Flat-breds that are going hurdling (so with more substance), some are in 6' while a couple with big shoulders have 6'3" but their rugs are not generously cut. The NH bred horses are all bigger in every way so no help to you. The make of rug you get will have a baring on the size. Cheaper rugs tend to be less generously cut, if there are pleats in the shoulders it makes them more roomy, is it made for cob types with a deep neck or with a high cut neck? Will you need to put much underneath or is it warm enough to be on it's own or with a thin underrug? All things to consider as well as her conformation (length of back, width of chest, depth of neck).

15.2 TB by Lord Americo (so bred for P2P I guess ) wears 6' rugs - he is very compact I always buy Horsewear rugs so not sure what other brands are like

 

[SaharaS]

I've got a 15.3hh tb in a 6ft tho in some makes she easily fills a 6'3 - so aim for a 6 ft but check with the sales team how the rugs brand is for being true to size - I have sometimes had a rug shortage in prolonged rain or when some of mine were stolen & she was fine in a 6'3 adjusted ofcourse..she's lightweight but it certainly didn't drown her.that was Weatherbeeta ..also depends if you are putting other rugs under at any point (ie if fully clipped & it suddenly goes arctic on us)...but yes generally 6ft should be more than fine..happy shopping!

 

[Nicnac]

Mine wears 5'9" but he's a US TB and is very compact - quite 1/4 horse like.

 

[DW Team]

Really depends as my yearling WB 15hh is in a 6'3"! My 4 year old 16hh chunky monkey is in 6'6"

 

[charlimouse]

My tb's ranging from 15.2 to 16hh are in 6'. My 16.1 is in 6'3".

 

[star]

I have a 15.2hh TB x Welsh D (more TB than cob) who wears 6ft6 turnouts and 6ft3 stable rugs/coolers.
My 15.1hh Welsh D wears 6ft9!

 

[nikkimariet]

Fig is 15.1hh at a push and takes a 6ft.

 

[Asha]

My 15.2 IDXTB is in a 6ft3 shortcouple and chunky, my 15.3 TB is in a 6ft6 long backed and chunky for a TB

 

[EmmaC78]

My 15.3 hh is in either a 6ft 3 or a 6ft 6 depending on the make.

 

[PapaFrita]

My 15.2 TB wears 5'9"-6'. She'd be swamped in 6'3"

 

[Elfen]

My 15.3 is in anything from 6ft to 6ft 6 depending on the make
