How to fit your WeatherBeeta Freestyle Blanket or Sheet
WeatherBeeta horse clothing is designed to fit your horse as securely, safely and as comfortably as possible. This ensures complete protection while giving you peace of mind that your horse clothing will stay in place, performing reliably all day long.
It is very important to make sure that any sheet or blanket you put on your horse fits properly to ensure your horse's comfort and safety. An improperly fitted blanket can cause shoulder and wither rubs and can actually endanger your horse, especially if the blanket is too big.
Here's how to measure your horse for a WeatherBeeta blanket - and then fit your new blanket.
Step 1: Measure your horse to find the right size. There are 2 ways to measure your horse:
Chest to Tail - from the center of the chest to the furthest rear point of the rump measuring along the side of the horse.
Wither to Tail - measuring straight from top of wither to top of tail.
Step 2: Check that your blanket fits.
Your horse's blanket fits when the chest closure is secured on approximately the middle adjustment and the top of the tail flap falls at the top of the tail.
Step 3: Fasten and adjust the straps.
- Chest Straps - fasten chest straps so fabric overlaps at the chest and the Freestyle Dart sits at the front of the shoulder point.
- Leg Straps - pass the left leg strap between the hind legs and fasten to the left hand dee-ring. Cross the right leg strap through the left leg strap and fasten to the right hand dee-ring. Ensure the leg straps are adjusted so you can only fit a hand's width between each leg strap and each of your horse's thighs.
- Surcingles - fasten belly surcingles and adjust straps to allow a hand's width between straps and belly.
Thats it!
Your horse is now ready to enjoy the unique comfort, protection and reliable fit of your WeatherBeeta horse blanket.
Remember, if your horse is comfortable in his properly fitted blanket, he will be much happier to stay dressed. A poorly fitted blanket will be uncomfortable for your horse and he may try to get it off. Taking the above correct fitting steps will ensure that your new WeatherBeeta Freestyle blanket will not rub and will provide ultimate fit, protection and freedom of movement.
