Horseware Ireland Rambo Drap de compétition imperméable en polaire

The right size rug keeps your horse comfortable and stops rubbing and slipping. Horseware makes many styles to suit all shapes and sizes, so check each rug's details too.

How to measure

Horses of the same height at the wither come in many shapes and sizes, so take your horse's measurements:

1. Using a soft measuring tape, measure from (A), the centre of the chest, across the point of the shoulder to (B), the centre of the tail.
2. Take 10cm (4 inches) off that measurement and find your horse's size in the table below.

Every horse is different, so the tables are a guide only.

Horse cut

Pony cut

XL cut

20% deeper in the neck and sides than the standard cut, for deep-shouldered horses with a deep neck and wide build.

Petite cut

Which rug style suits my horse?

• Straight front: for an average build, a classic neck cut, or a V-Front for extra comfort.
• V-Front: for a deep-shouldered, narrow horse, a Surefit design with V-Front closure.
• Disc front: for a narrow-chested horse, a rug with the Disc Front closure.
• XL: for a deep-shouldered horse with a deep neck and wide build. The XL cut is 20% deeper in the neck and sides.
• Optimo: the same broad build can also go for Optimo rugs, which give the most freedom of movement.
• Wug: for high-withered, narrow horses, the Wug® reduces wither pressure. For very narrow or young horses, Wug® or All-In-One designs help the rug fit and stop it slipping.

Rug weights

Weight is the amount of fill inside the rug.

A turnout rug is a waterproof, insulating layer that helps your horse keep condition in cold weather. The weather can change quickly, so always check your horse is comfortable.

Which hood fits my rug?

Match your horse's current rug size to the hood size.
