Whether you require an outdoor, stable, travelling or cooler rug, FAL will be able to provide a rug to suit your horse’s needs. We hope that this guide will prove useful, however, if you have any questions regarding the type and weight of rug to buy, please phone us on 01246 290029.
Ensuring the correct fit is vital. FAL-PRO rugs are sized in 3” increments. The measurement refers to the distance from the middle of the chest to the point of tail/point of quarters — where you wish the rug to finish (A-B) — see Sizing Chart. Horses vary in size, so does the depth of girth, therefore it is essential to take this measurement (C-D). A unique feature of FAL-PRO Viking and Goliath rugs is the generous depth, a factor which is extremely important for large sized/deep bellied horses. Should you have a large fronted/heavy horse, we also advise that you take a measurement of the circumference of the neck (E-F). This will provide a good indication of whether or not this measurement falls within our size range.
A badly fitting rug will slip and rub, causing irritation and proving uncomfortable for your horse to wear.
It is advisable to allow the dual purpose rugs to finish beyond the point of the quarters to allow plenty of room in the rug for your horse to gallop and roll freely.
