Size of Rug required

Size of Hood required

(If you want a hood as well as a rug, don't forget to add it to your basket in the "item required" box - just putting a size in this box does not order a hood)

Sizes are based on ordinary rug sizes and are not necessarily the same as Boett sizes. Measure as you would for a turnout rug ie from the centre of the chest in a straight line around the horse's body to a point that is in line with the top of the tail.

Prices include UK delivery * by overnight carrier in the spring/summer, or Royal Mail in the autumn/winter. If your rug will be more than a few days we will let you know. Rugs come from Holland so occasionally there may be longer delays but we do our best to keep them to a minimum. Orders placed at weekends or bank holidays will be sent on the next working day providing we have the correct size in stock.

Rugs are available from stock in dark brown only, with black fittings, to match the hoods.

We can order light olive green rugs and hoods in all sizes but do not generally keep them in stock.

If your horse is very fat ("in show condition") or very heavily built, order one size larger than the guidelines given above. Most rugs fit well "off the peg" but with so many different sizes and shapes of horses it may be necessary for you to make some minor adjustments. This is easy to do with a home sewing machine, or by hand. Should you need extra material, just let me know. The bag the rug comes in can be used for patching if necessary. We offer a complete bag of spares - material, elastic, clips, webbing - for £15.

If the rug you order does not fit, you may exchange it for a different size providing it is in AS NEW condition - ie clean, tidy, no hairs or marks etc. Try the rug on a clean, dry, horse, and remove any hairs with sellotape. You will need to pay the extra postage should you decide to exchange your rug, and obtain proof of posting when returning your rug in case of loss or damage. Any returns should be made within 14 days. Soiled rugs or hoods will not be considered for exchange or refund.

* Please note the delivery prices quoted are for the UK only. Please contact me for a quote for delivery overseas. I can ship to North America, but shipping costs are quite high - in the region of £25 per rug up to and including size 6 (without a hood, or size 5 with a hood), around £40 for size 7 and above. US and UK rug sizing are not the same - click here for a size conversion chart.
