Our Delzani Horse Rug Size Guide.
Delzani rugs are true to size. Our sizing relates to the measurement taken along the bottom edge of the horse rug when laid flat, with the gusset closed. As an example, a 6’0 horse rug will measure 6’0 /183cm, from the front edge of the rug to the rear edge of the rug.
The table below is an approx guide only.
How to choose the correct size rug?
We suggest you adopt one of the following methods (or ideally both!) to decide on rug size.
Method 1 - measure an existing horse rug.
This is often the more reliable approach. While the size label on your existing rug should be accurate, the current rug may have stretched, shrunk, or had some suspicious sizing to begin with, so should not be relied upon.
We suggest selecting a general paddock* rug that fits your horse nicely at present. Lay it down flat on the ground and make sure the gusset is closed and measure in a straight line from the front edge/binding of the horse rug to the rear edge/binding. Usually, we suggest doing this from between the front chest buckles, to the rear of the rug. Compare this measurement to our size chart below.
* Avoid using a turnout or waterproof horse rug, as this measuring approach won't work, as waterproof rugs usually incorporate a longer lower edge to allow some overlap of the front edges of the rug, behind the chest buckles.
Method 2 - measure your horse.
This method can be a little more challenging and will involve two people.
Find the center of your horse's chest, ideally the spot where you would expect the top chest buckle to be sitting if your horse was wearing a rug. Then take a soft tape measure and measure in a straight line from the center of the horse's chest, around the shoulder, along the side of the belly to the furthest rear point of the rump, or where you expect the rug to finish. ( be sure you don’t measure past the rump towards the tail as this will give you an incorrect size)
There can be lots of room for error with this method, as few horses stand still for long. Be sure to take the measurement a few times and from both sides of your horse. Compare your measurement to the size chart below.
