Different fabrics will fit slightly differently due to the difference in stretch. Please read the following advice if you feel your horse may be between sizes or you are unsure which size to choose.
Shiny Show Lycra Hoods are very stretchy so choose smaller rather than bigger.
Our weatherproof fabric has a medium amount of stretch so choose the size which best describes your horse when referring to the size guide above. This applies to Turn Out Hoods, Headless Turn Out Hoods, Turn Out Heads, Sweet Itch Hoods, Sweet Itch Heads and Headless Sweet Itch Hoods
Fleece only has a 2-way stretch so choose bigger rather than smaller if in between sizes.
Please contact us if you have any questions about sizing. All Hoods come complete with fitting instructions to help you when trying on for the first time.
Rugs
It is worth having a good read through both the product description and the fitting advice (https://snuggyhoods.com.au/pages/fitting-advice) - because our sizing is not really comparable to regular rug fitting.
Basically, the rugs/blankets are cut true to length (if you lay it flat, it will measure the length on the label) BUT as there is stretch in the fabric - and the fit is recommended to be tight (not roomy, loose or long), many do opt for 1-2 sizes smaller than they would normally purchase in a Turn Out or similar non-stretch, loose fitting rug/blanket.
(for example, Lucky our Shire horse ambassador in the photo here is 17.3 and would normally wear a 7'0 draft size rug/blanket. She comfortably wears our 6'6 (78") as shown here in the photo)
We recommend that all customers are super fussy with the fit, following the advice videos carefully, before leaving on the horse or pony. If unsure, take a couple of photos and email them to us to check (side view, rug/blanket pulled back, photo from side and rear).
If in doubt you can measure your horse’s/pony’s rug size using a tape measure.
Measure from centre of the chest around the body to the back of the hind leg, to one side of the tail. See image below:-
Different fabrics have a different amount of stretch and therefore may fit differently. Please read the following advice when choosing a rug size or if you are unsure.
Shiny Show Lycra Rugs are very stretchy so choose smaller rather than bigger.
Our weatherproof rugs have a medium amount of stretch so order your horse’s\pony’s usually rug size or the closest size to their actual measurement. This applies to Winter Under Rug, Sweet Itch Rug, and Bug Body.
Fleece Jams Rugs have a minimum stretch so order your horse’s/pony’s actual rug size or measurement.
Lightweight Rug Liners have no stretch in the fabric so choose bigger rather than smaller.
If in doubt please contact us for advice. All Rugs come complete with fitting instructions to help you when trying on for the first time.
