Blanket Size Information

Blanket tips for a great fit When buying any blanket for your horse , fit is key, and should never be underestimated. If you’ve bought the most amazing blanket with a whole range of features, it could potentially cause more harm than good if it is ill fitting. The good news is that it is not hard to achieve a good fit. Here are our top tips: Measure your horse before you go out to your local tack shop. This can be done with a tape measure. Simply put one end of the tape in the center of your horse’s chest and the other end on the horse’s buttocks where you would expect the blanket to finish. Horse blankets are sized in centimeters, inches or feet and inches—make sure you check what size blanket you are getting as a 66" blanket will not fit a 6'6" horse. When you’ve bought the blanket, take it home and try it on your horse over a clean bedsheet or clean summer sheet—make sure you leave all the tags on. If the blanket fits, then remove the tags and use; if not, you might be able to return the blanket to the retail outlet you purchased it from as long as it is in a saleable condition—check with your retailer at the time you purchase the blanket.

European sizes are measured from the top of the horse Withers to Tail Blanket Size Chart ( Bottom measurement )

UK/USA/Australian sizes are measured at the bottom of the horse from the center of the chest to the rear

A blanket will not stay in place unless it fits properly. A badly fitting blanket will slip and could cause discomfort for the horse and could be strained to breaking point. How can I tell if the blanket fits? The blanket should fit well over the withers and the shoulders so that the horse can move freely without the blanket slipping back. The breast straps should be fastened so that the fabric overlaps underneath them. The straps should be tight enough to hold the blanket in place, but not so tight that it causes the blanket’s shape to distort on the horse’s back or could cause pressure points around the horse’s chest and wither area. Cross surcingles should be fastened so you can fit a hand’s breadth between the surcingles and the horse’s body. This means that the straps are tight enough to prevent legs becoming caught should the horse lie down, but not so tight that the horse will be uncomfortable. If the blanket has leg straps, they should be fastened so that the left strap is passed around the left hind leg and fastened back to the left side. The right strap should then pass around the right hind leg, loop through the left strap, and then fasten to the right side. There should be about 4–5" between the strap and the horse’s leg to prevent the blanket slipping without causing the horse any discomfort.

Hunting—what’s it all about?

We decided to spend a day following our local U.K. hunt. Our sponsored rider, Faye, was dressed in our new Marlborough Hunt Coat and Clifton Vest…so it really was for the good of the catalog…honest!

So, at 11am we joined the assembled party of horses, hounds, riders, dogs, followers, well wishers and lots of delicious food and drink at the designated place for that particular meet. The atmosphere was wonderful—obviously everyone knew each other, but there was such a range of people and horses who, if you were putting people together in groups you might not have put together in that way…but it worked incredibly well. The horses were turned out beautifully—scrupulously clean, braided up, sparkling tack and ready for action.

We broke away from the group before they left to get to ‘the punchbowl,’ which is where the field were heading but, on reaching the top of the road it seemed that the hedge we were planning to look over had not been cut and was far taller than we had hoped…so we were pointed down a track and started walking down that. The setting was very British and autumnal—the trees were various shades or red, amber and russet and, of course, it was incredibly slippery with the mud. I was given the job of Sherpa (which involves carrying the camera case and monopod) and was told that if I was going to fall over I should try and land on my front to protect the lenses...nice!

Anyway, we carried on down the path until we heard horses’ hooves behind us, at which point we took to the rather prickly hedgerow to let the horses and hounds past. When everyone had passed, we followed on behind and got to the most beautiful spot which dropped fairly steeply down into a valley. At this point the horses and hounds disappeared as they were working in a different part of ‘the punchbowl’. When it was quiet, we saw a variety of wildlife—a muntjac deer ambled into a little wood, a buzzard was overhead in the sky and all was fairly serene. Not an awful lot happened for a while after that, but then a few hounds picked up the artificial scent that had been laid earlier that day ran into another area of woodland. They were fairly quickly retrieved by a lot of horn blowing and Faye, who acted as whipper-in for the day on her ride, Trevor (who happens to be a rather large chestnut gelding who, occasionally, has fairly strong opinions about where he would like to go…but we will get to that bit later!). A variety of strange noises were heard from Faye and the people who were persuading the hounds to go back to the pack and all was well. When all the hounds were back in one place, they pick up a scent and started working. They are really amazing animals. When they picked up the scent, they started making a strange noise…almost like the start of a howl which, I was later told, was them speaking to the scent. Their noses were down, sterns wagging and they started in one direction. The scent was not very strong as they seemed to circle a bit.

The Master (Richard) moved the hounds on and went to assess the surrounding area while the horses and riders waited. There was much to-ing and fro-ing with the walkie talkies to discuss the progress and the odd hound seemed to find its way back to the horses. These hounds are really friendly. I was quite surprised. Coffee (the hound that seemed to like staying with the horses) seemed to really enjoy going to see everyone. When one of the followers’ dogs started to growl at her, she just walked straight past without so much as a glance.

Anyway, we then moved on down another rather slippery track (although everything four-legged and two-legged seemed to cope a lot better than we did!) and the horses and hounds went to another section on that day’s route. It was at that point we managed to hitch a lift on a quad which was rather good as we had covered a few miles and were set to cover more over the rest of the day. We then heard on the walkie talkie that Faye had become a member of the tumble club…i.e., she had fallen off… in our new jacket! I was assured that the jacket…I mean Faye, was OK (although we do have a rather muddy hunt coat hanging up in our showroom…but the less said about that the better!) I think Trevor and Faye had had a slight difference of opinion…and with Trevor being a good 17.1hh and Faye being about 5'…I don’t think that there was much of a fight!

We took some great photos and followed on foot for a little while…and then hitched a lift with someone who was following the hunt in the car as there was a very steep hill to go up and the quad would not have coped at all. We jumped out of the car at the right time and joined the group again…this was then followed by our lift vanishing, no quad bike and a lot of dashing after horses through mud, field, gateways, cows and everything else that the countryside can throw at you.

We followed the group for a little longer before squeezing through a barbed wire fence, picking up a group of horses that we thought were hunting but were either a) going home from hunting or b) were never involved with the hunt—that just happened to be walking down a lane that we came across. These horses vanished too (well, they were a lot faster than w were and they were only walking) and we came out on the road fairly near where we had started so with no horses in sight. We trundled home and had some sandwiches, tea and cake…delicious!

We hadn’t followed a hunt before and we had a really eye-opening, interesting and enjoyable day. The mix of people hunting was brilliant, the way people treat each other was refreshing, and the atmosphere was one of the nicest I have been in for a while. The hunt and followers work as a team that help get the horses and hounds around the countryside…and the amount of work that goes into planning just one day of hunting is amazing. The hunt are very respectful of the people they encounter, the land that they use and the landowners. When we picked up a couple of people who started to follow the hunt midway, they were greeted politely and warmly and joined in the conversation with everyone else. The horses were amazingly well looked after—very fit, beautifully turned out and seemed to be having a brilliant time—as were the hounds who lapped up their exercise and the day’s excitement.

I can’t say how impressed we were with how well everything was run—people’s perception of hunting seems to vary enormously, but it is NOT like some people believe. Hunts run in a legal way are not barbaric or any of the other words that they get branded with—they are well-run operations that provide a service to the community and to the farmers. In addition to actually hunting, the hunt also provides a service. They take fallen stock, they can help euthanase animals, they work with the farmers in the local community—there really is far more to it all than meets the eye.

We’d like to thank Clare and Richard Hill who are joint masters at the Clifton On Teme Hunt for allowing us to follow the hunt for the day.
