Expert Posts: 2128	So I am wondering what size blankets you all use for the average size quarter horse. I ordered the hubs a couple for christmas. I used the sizing chart that stated horses between 14'2 and 15'2 normally wear a size 70 -72. I am worried that may be a little small. These wont be for one particular horse as he will use them for multiple. What do you guys normally buy?

Rad Dork Posts: 5218 Location: Oklahoma	My 15.1/15.2 appendix wears a 78. He could probably get by with a 76, but I'd rather it be just a wee bit bigger since he lays down at night to sleep.

Expert Posts: 2128	If it were to be used for one specific horse I would just measure. He trains for a living and keeps multiple outside horses so it would need to be used for many individuals. I could order a couple of different sizes so that hopefully it will work for most.

Red Bull Agressive Posts: 5981 Location: North Dakota	I don't think you can really estimate by height. I measured 2 of my horses fit blankets, both are 15.3hh and one was a 73, the other 76.

Expert Posts: 1482 Location: on my horse	my 15.3 HH gelding wore an 84 saxxon comfortably, I actually would have liked to have a little bit bigger one for him because he was a big stout guy that wore a size 2 shoe, my 14.2 hh stocky mustang gelding wears a 74 ozark and a 68 trail tough and they both fit perfectly. My mom's 15.1hh gelding wears a 76 in almost all brands. I think it just depends on your individual horse and the brand of blanket.

Elite Veteran Posts: 682 Location: Northwest	My 15.3 running bred gelding wears an 81 in the Kensington Platinum blankets. They fit so perfectly that they look like they were made especially for him.

Elite Veteran Posts: 927 Location: Iowa	Different blanket companies use different measuring methods. One will have you measure from center of chest around to the edge of the tail. Another company has you measure center chest then around the widest point of the shoulder and hip to the center of the tail. Look up online how the manufacturer wants a horse measured for their brand of blanket.
