Horse Blanket Fitting Guide

You should be able to comfortably slide one hand between the blanket and the withers.

The blanket should drape below the barrel, and stop just below the horse’s elbow and stifle.

Chest Closure: Secure the chest closures loosely enough to allow freedom of movement.

Belly Closure: A clenched fist/four fingers should fit comfortably between your horse and the surcingles.

Leg Loop or Fillet String: If present, secure leg straps with enough play to avoid chafing, at least a hands width. Can you also change leg loop to say leg strap and remove fillet string.

Tail Strap: If present, fit the tail loop tight enough to prevent excessive shifting of the blanket.

Tail Cover: Assure the tail cover is properly attached to the blanket. hat the neck cover (if present) is properly attached to the blanket.

Neck Cover: Assure that the neck cover is properly attached to the hood loops (if present).
