How to Find Your Horse’s Blanket Size

It’s a good idea to size up your horse and check your blanket inventory well before the fall and winter months. One of the first steps to ordering a blanket for your horse is knowing what size to order. Here are tips for measuring your horse. First, stand your horse squarely on level ground. Using a fabric tape measure, you will measure from the center of your horse’s chest over the point of the shoulder to the point where you want the blanket to end. You may prefer to measure to the top of the tail if this is where you want the blanket to stop or you may measure just over the top of the tail if you want the tail to be covered. The inch measurement you obtain at the other end of your tape should be your horse’s blanket size. A general horse size is 76 or 78. Ask your veterinary clinic Wichita, KS for assistance.
