Imperial Riding Fly Rug - Carly
Use this size guide to find the correct rug size for your horse. Imperial Riding rugs are labelled using both UK rug sizing (feet) and US blanket sizing (inches) — both describe the same rug length.
How to measure your horse for a rug:
- Bottom length — measure along the side of the horse, from the middle of the chest, around the shoulder, to the end of the quarters (just past the point of the buttock). This is the standard measurement used for UK and US rug sizing.
- Top length — measure in a straight line along the back, from the base of the neck (at the withers) to the base of the tail.
- Horse height — measured from the ground to the top of the withers. Use the hands (hh) column if you know your horse's height in hands, or centimetres if you've measured with a height stick.
If your horse falls between two sizes, or is broader or deeper-built than average, it's usually best to size up.
| Horse height (cm) | Horse height (hh) | Bottom length (cm) | Top length (cm) | UK Rug Size | US Blanket Size |
| <100 | under 9.3 hh | 125 | 75 | 3'6" | 42" |
| 101–110 | 10.0–10.3 hh | 135 | 85 | 3'9" | 45" |
| 111–120 | 11.0–11.3 hh | 145 | 95 | 4'0" | 48" |
| 121–130 | 12.0–12.3 hh | 155 | 105 | 4'6" | 54" |
| 131–140 | 13.0–13.3 hh | 165 | 115 | 5'0" | 60" |
| 141–151 | 14.0–14.3 hh | 175 | 125 | 5'6" | 66" |
| 152–161 | 15.0–15.3 hh | 185 | 135 | 6'0" | 72" |
| 162–168 | 16.0–16.2 hh | 195 | 145 | 6'3" | 75" |
| 169–174 | 16.3–17.0 hh | 205 | 155 | 6'9" | 81" |
| 175+ | 17.1+ hh | 215 | 165 | 7'0" | 84" |
This size chart is a guideline. Always keep the shape and build of your individual horse in mind — broader, deeper-built, or heavily-muscled horses may need to size up. Measurements in feet (UK) and inches (US) refer to the length of the rug along the bottom edge.
The flyblanket with fixed neck and loose mask is made of fine mesh in IR designed zebra print (see details). The blanket protects the horse against mosquitoes and flies and prevents the horse being discoloured by the sun. With nylon lining on the shoulder and the manes, gusset and chest closure with velcro and buckle closure. The neck has a velcro closure and hole for the ears. The adjustable belly flap has three torque fasteners. Furthermore, the blanket has an extra long tail flap with tailstrap and elastic leg straps. The mask has a velcro closure and has a fleece binding.
TIP! Did you know that especially this funny print keeps the flies away? They even get drunk by the effect of the stipes. Only this print really prepant your horse form irritant fly bites.
