Buying the right sized rug

Rugs are sized in three inch increments.  The measurement refers to the centre of the chest of the horse along the body to the rear of the quarters where you expect the rug to finish. ( TIP : measure an existing rug laid flat on the floor). The chart below is an approximate guide.
