Allrounder Fly Rug Combo | Big Horse

All over the world people measure animals in different ways, along the back, around the chest and hind legs or by weight. 

We are based in the UK, but from New Zealand, where we measure all of our products along the back of the animal, neck to tail, then work out the correct conversion. If you get confused or have any questions about our sizing, please get in touch.

HORSE RUG SIZE GUIDE

 Standard size horses this guide will be accurate. 

CALF JACKET SIZE GUIDE

Measurements are taken along the back, neck to tail. 

Smaller Breeds like Jersey's can use the small size for new borns. 

Holstein's would use the medium for new borns and small for premature & twins. 

Larger Breeds like Belgium Blue's would be better using the Large for new borns and medium for premature & twins. 

Our New Zealand style canvas jackets are measured in feet and inches and tend to be used for longer periods outdoors during spring. (New Zealand Farming System)

2'0 = 24" Medium , 2'3 = 27" Large , 2'6 = 31" X Large

SHEEP COAT SIZE GUIDE 

Measurements are taken along the back, neck to tail. 

Rams will generally need 36" & 39" 

Lambs will generally use 22" & 24" 

Different breeds come in different shapes, but as long as the measurement along the back is used, we are in the right starting point. If the sheep breed is smaller in the front and not much of a chest, these may need to have a dart/ seam stitched into the neck area for a better fit. If the breed is very solid and extra chunky, you could go 1 size up to allow for the extra room needed.
