Measure the horse Depending on what rug you're looking at I think some brands come in Pony/Cob/Full etc, but a lot are measured in feet and inches...Faith has a quarter sheet but I can't remember what size that it - I could have a look in the morning of you want? I guess if you wanted an exercise sheet (I'm assuming the ones that sit under the saddle or have a cut away bit around the saddle) then it would need to be longer than a quarter sheet that would fit the same horse . Hmm...I'm going to have to ask google now because it's going to bug me until I know the answer!

I think the general sizing for an exercise sheet is 1ft shorter than the standard rug size.

It will obviously depend how chunky they are and the make as well - I've got a cheapy one (can't think of the brand but they do cheapy rugs as well - thats going to annoy me now!) it's 'Cob' size but it's a bit short and the girth straps are too far back which makes it even shorter. I'm the same with Eddie Rainbow, she came with 5'9 rugs but I find 6ft to be a slightly better fit which is great as it means all Sancys rugs fit her

Interesting! Pete is six foot too. That must be the most popular size.

Faith too! Technically she should be in a 5'9 but she's just too broad around her shoulders for them to fit properly...I find that extra inch really does make a differenece Really sorry Flea, I completely forgot to look at the size of Faith's sheet...I'll look later. PROMISE!
