BLANKET & SIZE INFORMATION

Blanket Fitting Tips WHEN BUYING ANY BLANKET FOR YOUR HORSE, FIT IS KEY. Even if you’ve bought the most amazing blanket with a whole range of features, it could potentially cause more harm than good if it is ill-fitting. The good news is that it is not hard to achieve a good fit. Here are our top tips: • Measure your horse before you go to your local tack shop. This can be done with a tape measure. Simply put one end of the tape in the center of your horse’s chest and the other end on the horse’s buttocks where you would expect the blanket to finish.

• Horse blankets are sized in centimeters, inches or feet and inches—make sure you check what size blanket you are getting as a 66" blanket will not fit a 6'6" horse.

• When you’ve bought the blanket, take it home and try it on your horse over a clean bedsheet or clean summer sheet—make sure you leave all the tags on. If the blanket fits, then remove the tags and use; if not, you might be able to return the blanket to the retail outlet you purchased it from as long as it is in a saleable condition—check with your retailer at the time you purchase the blanket.

European sizes are measured from the top of the horse.

Withers to Tail

Blanket Size Chart ( Bottom measurement )

UK/USA/Australian sizes are measured at the bottom of the horse from the center of the chest to the rear.

A blanket will not stay in place unless it fits properly.

A badly fitting blanket will slip and could cause discomfort for the horse and/or be strained to the breaking point.

How can I tell if the blanket fits?

• The blanket should fit well over the withers and the shoulders so that the horse can move freely without the blanket slipping back.

• The chest straps should be fastened so that the fabric overlaps underneath them. The straps should be tight enough to hold the blanket in place, but not so tight that it causes the blanket’s shape to distort on the horse’s back or could cause pressure points around the horse’s chest and wither area.

• Cross surcingles should be fastened so you can fit a hand’s breadth between the surcingles and the horse’s body. This means that the straps are tight enough to prevent legs becoming caught should the horse lie down, but not so tight that the horse will be uncomfortable.

• If the blanket has leg straps, they should be fastened so that the left strap is passed around the left hind leg and fastened back to the left side. The right strap should then pass around the right hind leg, loop through the left strap, and then fasten to the right side. There should be about 4–5" between the strap and the horse’s leg to prevent the blanket slipping without causing the horse any discomfort.

Size L Colors White/White Fleece, Black/White Fleece $112.99

Sheepskin is a natural product which helps to keep the horse’s back dry during work as it allows air to circulate around the fibers.

At the same time, the sheepskin is both comfortable and soft, providing the horse with the best of both worlds. For the rider, saddle pads allow closer contact between the rider’s leg and the horse’s sides.

Size L Colors White/White Fleece $99.99

This is a shaped saddle pad with a difference! It is lined with white sheepskin across the horse’s back to provide a comfortable and soft layer between the horse’s back and the saddle. Due to the thinner quilted fabric used where the saddle flaps sit, it also helps the rider’s lower leg stay in close contact with the horse’s sides.

A Bit Special EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY. All Shires bits are manufactured under close quality controls to ensure they are strong, safe and will work as designed. In addition to stainless steel bits, Shires offers other options to ensure there is a bit to suit the needs of every horse. Bits fall into five different categories: snaffles, doubles, pelhams, gags and bitless, and all of these are available.

550 Flat Ring Jointed Eggbutt This bit has a thin mouthpiece, making it harsher on the horse’s mouth.

Sizes 4.5", 5", 5.5", 5.75", 6" $29.99

6286 Standard Curved Eggbutt This bit has standard eggbutt rings and a curved mouthpiece to allow more room for the horse's tongue.

Sizes 4.5", 5", 5.5", 6" $29.99

556 Small Ring Dressage Eggbutt This bit has small rings to help your pony or horse with a small head look in proportion Sizes 3.5", 4", 4.5", 5", 5.5" $22.99

551 Hollow Mouth Eggbutt This eggbutt snaffle has a hollow mouth, meaning that it is lighter than a standard solid mouthpiece.

Due to their lightweight nature, hollow mouth bits are renowned for being softer than a solid bit.

Sizes 4.5", 5", 5.5", 5.75", 6" $29.99

543 Loose Ring Eggbutt This loose ring eggbutt snaffle has been cleverly designed to allow more movement in the horse’s mouth, while reducing the risk of pinching.

C Willie was on stall rest due to injury and was restless and unhappy being isolated.

“Willie really does like it. It has lifted his spirits.”

—Jenny Lynn, Georgia, USA

“The Equine Scratcher is an important accessory which, when added to an animal’s environment, promotes the freedom to express habitual behavior.

This helps the animal to reduce stress and enhances well-being.”

—Dr. Suzanne Harrison, Gull River Veterinary Hospital, Ontario, Canada

This 3-in-1 equine activity center features components that are designed to calm, entertain and engage. More than just a boredom buster, the Neigh Station offers: a shatterproof mirror that research shows can reduce stable vices up to 77%; a sliding latch for the Houdini in every horse; and a rope with detachable toy that will entertain.

Remove tug toy and add treat or salt lick if desired. Comes with either a Western tug toy named Earl or an English tug toy named Charlie. $87.99

This texturized, flexible panel provides maximum itch relief from insect bites, boredom or shedding. The no-pull surface will not tear at your horse’s mane, tail or coat. The flexible panel can be wrapped around a fence post 8" or greater in diameter or mounted in multiples on a stable wall to allow horses to safely scratch without worry of potential injury. The unique surface design stands up to the most determined nibblers, and its durable polyethylene contains a UV stabilizer which means it won’t crack or rot in seasonal weather. Supplied with stainless steel mounting hardware. Panel size: 25”x11” Color Black $39.99

Ease stable boredom or engage your horse in his paddock with this colorful play ball. Fill with horse treats or grain and let your horse play; he will be rewarded with tasty treats as they roll out of the ball.
