What size rugs do your 15hh - 16.3hh horses wear?

[zoon]

Just curious really. Trying to work out whether to keep my 6'6 rugs from my 16.2 horse I've just sold when I may get one that is only 15hh! Can you also post what breed your horse is? It'll be interesting to see what the range is.

My mare is 15.1hh and she wears 6ft 3", she is a welsh x tb type.

i have 2 IDxTBs - 1 is 16.2hh and in a 6'3 rug but she is very short coupled. Her daughter is also 16.2hh and even shorter coupled and wears 6'0 as 6'3 is far too big

Bodey is a 15’1hh cob and wears 6ft6 rugs.

 

[3Beasties]

16.2 hh TB's (one fine, one chunkier) both wear 6'6" rugs.

my horse, (TB about 16.3ish) is currently wearing a 5'9, a 6'3 & a 6'6 rug, they wear what they are given TBH, as i have mountains of them, and sometimes want a small/short rug to go underneath others when turned out (hence the 5'9) so if i was you i'd keep them all, i've got loads of 7'0 rugs from two 17hh+ horse i used to have, & they are handy for spares & for going over the top of others if its really cold

My tb is 15.3hh and has 6.3 and 6.6, my mums pony is a 14.1hh cob x arab and he takes a 6. I would hang on to the rugs for now.

i'm good at this, you may get away with it i previously worked in riding school were we had rugs donated and random rugs went on whatever horse needed them. so long as you adjust them well and another trick twist the leg straps round eachother twice stops the rug slipping.
weatherbeeta rugs are fab they dont tend to slip
my 2yr old is 15.2 and in a 6ft 3 which is fine on him he is tb x knab. he's been in that size rug since he was 15hh and it has never rubbed him
i always buy 1size bigger than what i need dont know why just prefer them slightly bigger. good luck x

[Cop-Pop]

My 15.1 TBx takes a 6ft rug - some are nearly too short but Weatherbeatas 6ft fit her perfectly

 

[Eaglestone]

Motor 14.3 Hackney x Welsh D and wears 5' 9" - 6' rugs & my TB is 16.1 1/2 and wears 6' - 6' 3" rugs

6ft3in for Irish Sport Horse approx 16hh

 

[Toffee44]

My 15.3hh cob is also 15.3hh wide so have to use either a 6ft 6 or 6ft 9 otherwise it just rubs his chest. I loose a few inches of length on his chest if that makes sense

 

[Haniki]

[LauraWinter]

My 15hh arab wears 6' and my 16hh idx tbx connie 6'6" but both can get away with 6'3" which are then either on the large or small side

 

[JoJo_]

My 16.1hh mare wears 6'9. She is rather long in the back. A little too long for my liking but cant do anything about that.

 

[TelH]
