It is very important to find a proper fitting blanket for your horse. Tight fitting blanket will rub shoulders and withers, causing irritation and "bald" spots.A blanket that is too loose will turn and shift, catch on latches and gates.
Here is advice on how to measure for a properly fitting blanket from the experts at Weatherbeeta , makers of top quality rugged horse clothing:
- Obtain a soft measuring tape.
- Measure from the center of the chest along the side of the barrel and belly to the point just before the tail. This measurement will be the size for your blanket.
- Match this measurement to the recommended size chart. If your horse is exceptionally broad, it might require the next size up.
