About Sizing

Three things determine the approximate fit of a blanket:

#1 The requirements of your horses neck and shoulders
#2 The length of his back
#3 The drop length which will cover him completely.

Chest to tail measurements are useful for selecting a blanket from within a manufacturer's size range.

How to measure:
(A) Neck Sizes are taken completely around the horse's neck from in front of withers along the shoulder line.
(B) Back measurements are taken from in front of withers to base of tail.
(C) Chest to Tail measurements from center of chest to point of buttocks
(D) Drop measurements are taken from 12 inches behind withers to desired length to cover the horses' sides.

Our blankets are designed based on statistical information gathered from horse owners like yourself. Blankets with Hug Closures will allow you to adjust the neck by several inches (5-6 inches), so the chest to tail measurement is considerably less critical in determining size. You can either select a blanket based on traditional sizing, or you can run a tape measure over your horse and select the very best fit.
