I agree, if you can post a picture I can help you as I have used rambos, smartpak brand, sstack, weatherbetta and a few others. I have had the best luck with my sstack fitted v free style with belly bands, it seems to fit the widest variety and doesn't rub their mane out which I love!!! I have almost all the boarding horses at my barn in sstack blankets now as they are well worth the investment as they last for YEARS!

I have this one from sstack and LOVE it. I don't care if they are all black and I have to find the size tag to figure out whose is whose. Like the poster above said, doesn't rub out the mane and fits everything I have.

I have a 15.2 sway backed, high withered arab cross, a 15.0 round fat, quarter mare, and a 14.0 mutton withered tank. Everyone is comfy and loves them. LOVE the closed front. LOVE the belly band.

I also have it in the sheets :) Durable, and highly recommend them!!

I have one with high withers but his neck doesn't tie in low. I had to buy a size up in order for the blanket to fit over his shoulders and withers.
 I bought a beautiful tails slinky hood last year for him to wear under his blanket and after wearing his blanket he still had a mane!!!

Funny, that's never happened before.

   So i over analyzed her a bit haha. She does have some good size withers that arent that HIGH and at this angle her neck is not so bad. It looks and feels different when Im saddling and agonizing over everything fitting. She is off due to a hock mishap and is quite a bit heavier with lack of work and excess hay intake.

This is a better shot. Dont mind her mane this was less than 24hrs after I got her home.
