Rug Size Guide

Measure in a straight line from the centre of the horse's chest (where the top chest buckle would sit), around the shoulder, along the side of the belly to the furthest rear point of the rump, or where you expect the rug to finish. Make sure not to measure around to the tail as this will add a few extra inches.

Chest to rump, along the side. Not around to the tail.

NEW ZEALAND SIZES

If you're used to buying New Zealand covers, our sizing will look a size or two bigger for the same horse, and that's just the tape measure, not the fit. NZ covers are measured along the back, from the withers to the tail. Our rugs are measured the Australian way: from the centre of the chest, along the side, to the rump. That's a longer line, so our size reads 1'3 bigger than the NZ size for the same horse. Easiest way to get it right: measure your horse our way (see above) and pick that size. Already know your NZ size? Add 1'3 to it and that's the Kez Rugs size to order.
