anyone with a 15.2hh - new horse - help

[rach4uk4]

hi guys
new horse arriving tomorrow hes 15.2 n quite compact, hav been told by owner he takes 6ft3 rugs and full size bridle, boots etc, but to me he looks tiny! i got 3 gorg new rugs for him at the size she said n got them out of bag to look at them but they look like they're gonna drown anything under 16.2hh!! does this sound right to you? anyone with 15.2's out there? wat size gear do your horsses take??

my 15.2hh wears 6'0 rugs (weatherbeeta, masta), rambo size too small in general and too small around the shoulders for him - 6'3 rambo is too small.
BUT mine is short backed.

Bridle size is cob (he's a QH) but if your new horse is a cobby type, could well be a full size bridle and boots.

Good luck with your new horse !
(ps. when horseware were putting free headcollars in with some of their rugs, they put cob size with the 6'0" but full size with the 6'3" ...)

I have a 15.2hh TB who wears 6' 6" rugs and full size everything!!

 

[colettybetty]

Mine is 15.3hh and takes a 6'3'' rug too and she's short backed.

My 15.2hh takes a 6,6 or a 6,9 comfortably!!

His bridle is made up of full size and Warmblood components, lol!!

he's a welsh cob x type

have fun with your new horse!!

My 14.1 Welsh D takes 6'0 and sometimes 6'3" rugs - it's very deceptive sometimes. Until you get the rug on the horse, you won't know if it fits. You may be very surprised! My 15hh cob takes 6'3" - but most of that is taken up with her big belly! I've also got a 15.1hh warmblood in a 6'6" rug. Good luck - hope the rugs fit!

Oh, and my Welsh D and cob are both in full size in bridles.

My 15,2hh thoroughbred takes a 6,3 rug and also fits a 6,5 nicely.
He's also mid way between a cob and full headcollar/breastplate etc.

My 15.1hh takes a 6' rug and sometimes a 6'3 depending on the make, as for bridles and boots sometimes cob size but mostly full size.

 

[charlie1980]

Mine takes 6.6 masta rugs/

 

[Sexy Sietske]

My 15.2 wears 6ft3-6ft6 and he is a middle weight cob x tb type thing but my 16.1 TB also wore 6ft3-6ft6.

16hh friesian is almost in 6ft9

 

[naurarwen]

Gawd I thought my IDxTB mare was big with her 6ft6in - 6ft9in rugs. I guess not!

 

[montys helper]

my 15'1 wears 6ft9 rugs and my 15'2 wears 6ft ones

 

[teddypony]

my 15.1 (tb x nf) takes a 6ft rug, cob bridle. Friends 15.2 anglo arab takes the same but would probably take a 6ft3 if needed to

 

[JustJas]

Hope new horse settles quick!
Our 15'2 cob is 6'9" rug.
She has an outsize browband on her full size bridle.

 

[Sophiesmum]

Hi,

I have a 15.2 and she takes 6' 3 rugs and full size bridles, boots and everything else!

Should be fine! Good Luck.
