Expert Posts: 2276 Location: ohio-in my own little world with pretty ponies :)	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"

Location: Texas	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

Veteran Posts: 187	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....
