Soo what's the correct way to measure for a winter blanket? I measured awhile back my little pony but she has done really well this winter without it but with more extreme temperatures coming and lasting longer I think she might need one. But anyways when I measured last time it came out a 72" and that can't be right because my stout 15.1 mare wears a 72" and this pony is 12.1 and way smaller than my mare. Also, where is the best and cheapest place to order one because I know all the places around here don't have anything smaller than a 72"

depends on manufacturers specs. some to the end of the hip some around to side of tail some center of the tail. call the manufacturer and ask all measurements from center of chest

Center of chest to middle of tail.
Although I ordered one in a 72" cuz my colt measured 71" and it's a PERFECT fit. Which is great. But he will need a new one next year lol. Kinda wish is ordered a 74" haha

Holy cow....she would be a 36"???
Is she real wide? That's where I kinda went wrong with my colt. I didn't take I account he's wide (duh) lol
If she's wide give her some room! She may be short bodies but the width eat up inches!

My pony is 45" or 11.2 H and 54" is a bit big on her, but doable. My POA wears a 72 and my QH has a fly sheet that is a 76, a sheet that is 78, and a blanket that is an 80....

My daughter's 13.3 hh gelding is in a size 72 Rambo Wug. I've never measured him, but I had a 72 on hand and it fit. He's not very wide but he's looooong.

That's what I'm thinking lol I was like there is no way is can be a 72" hahah
I was a little more freaked out by the 36" measurement. Thats what my ------- never mind. Lol
Hahahah I was a little worried about that too but I've never had a pony before so I didn't know if that would be right lol between the 36" 64" and 72". One of them is bound to fit her! Now just to figure that out!! Hahah

So I ordered her a blanket! Of course it arrives after the serious cold but I'm sure there will be more of those days/nights. I was a little worried when I got it out of the box because it looked huge!! But I took it out and put it on her and it's perfect!! Ahhhh, she is so cute!!!

It's a stable blanket. Thanks, she sure is a sweetie and puts up with a lot from a 5 year old and 2, 2 year olds and she takes it like a champ and is enjoying all the extra cookies!!
