There are various places you can order a rug from. The problem is that whether you buy something from a high street store or a website it is not possible to bring your horse and exactly measure them up against an item. Therefore you need to order a product in advance and take an educated guess that it is right.

This will then give you a guide to the size that the rug needs to be and should ensure the best possible fit. You can then order something that should be the right fit by checking product specifications before you purchase something.
