What size rug should I get my horse?

For Horseware® Ireland horse rugs, we recommend the following steps:

  1. Take a soft measuring tape
  2. Measure from the centre point of the chest (A), around the point of the shoulder, along the body, around the back leg to the centre of the tail (B)
  3. Take 10cm off the measurement you got.
  4. Check where this new number puts you under A to B on the table below
  5. If your horse is in between two sizes, we usually suggest going with the bigger size.

Please leave all tags attached when trying your rug on to check size so you can exchange or return the rug if necessary.

How do I know which size bridle to buy?

For HW® Micklem Bridles, we recommend the following steps:

Measure your horse using a soft tape and compare to the size chart on the Micklem Bridle product pages.

If you're unsure about which size would best suit your horse email us at hello@leaderequine.com.au

Are Horseware® Ireland rugs true to size?

Horseware® Rugs can tend to fit neater in size than we are used to here in Australia and NZ.

We would suggest you measure your horse prior to ordering to achieve the most accurate result. If your horse is between sizes we usually would recommend taking the larger size.

If you have any questions about which size to select for your horse please feel free to reach out on (03) 83399003 or hello@leaderequine.com.au

Do your rugs have leg straps?

No, Horseware® rugs do not have leg straps. The rugs come standard with either fillet straps or wipe clean tail cords depending on the product you choose.

The rugs feature Surefit surcingles which prevent any slipping or moving of the rug whilst on the horse and allow rugs to self correct and remain centrally on the horse.

How do I contact Leader Equine to discuss which product might suit my horses needs?
