Choosing the Right Size

A question we get asked all the time. Sadly it is a little like ‘how long is a piece of string’ 

Skye Park staff are all horse owners with a huge variety of breeds, types and ages so have a great understanding of the standard sizing of rugs for horses heights and types.  Unfortunately rug size can be affected by not only things such as height, but weight, condition, breed, age, conformation, so there is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Couple this with the fact that people often like their rugs to fit differently, some like them a bit longer some like them more snug etc. and it becomes a huge variety of choices.

We are certainly able to advise you what we would choose, but without actually physically seeing your horse, it is very difficult to be 100% accurate

We have a rug measuring form that will enable you to have a rough idea of sizing, but this relies on measurements being taken correctly, which is often not the case.  We also offer a rug fitting service which is done by mailing sample rugs and taking photos. There is a fee for this service that is 100% refundable when you place a rug order with us.  We have special necklines for Clydesdales, part Clydesdales, heavy breeds, young stock, older horses etc.
