Am in the process of getting a thermie rug for my thr X boy he takes a 6.9" normally which fits him very well, he has big shoulders.
I have been told that you should get a size smaller with these rugs, e.g 6.6", but I have been offered a 6.9" at a good price and am thinking about going for it.
The problem is that I can`t send it back, if its to big, would a 6.9" be miles to big on him then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone have a thermatex rug who can offer some advise please.

They are very generous. But i shrank mine in the wash by accident and now it fits great!

An extra 3inches in a rug is not a bad thing, as Lucy says above they can and do shrink. Is he cobby or fine. With my boys, being cobby i can often get away with a size bigger.

he`s on the chunky side, so i think i`ll go for the 6.9" better to be to big than small.

I agree- I bought a 5ft 9" for my normally 6ft horse and regretted it.

yet when all books have been read it boils down to the horse, his human & what goes on between them

I find a size smaller fits. I have a 6'9" thermatex but buy 7' in everything else. Also I've washed mine lots of times & it didn't shrink at all.

I got Friendly a 5ft 6" which is what she has in everything else and it's fine!
