How To Measure

Body measurement on horse to get the right size and fit with arrows and numbers.
Measurements for the Body to get the right size and fit

1. Withers-Back Length
Measure the back from where the withers starts (where you feel a soft spot in front of the withers) and end where the tail starts.

2. Body Length
Measure above the tip of the sternum (suprasternal fossa), tight over the body and the whole way to the middle of the tail.

3. Belly Depth
Measure from where the withers ends (where you see the withers slope is ending) and straight down to where the different sides meet (where the cowslick is).

4. Neck Depth
Measure from the mane where the withers starts and moving in front of the shoulder to the underside of the neck down to the suprasternal fossa (above tip of the sternum).

Front measurement on horse with arrow and number.
Measurements for the Front to get the right size and fit

Get The Right Size & Fit

 

Horses with the same height naturally have different confirmation. For example, various back and neck lengths and width of shoulders. To ensure that the products have an optimal fit, we recommend you to measure your horse as advised to get what you need.
 
► Measure the sport horse according to our simple instructions.
► Measure as accurate as possible.
► If you don’t measure it correctly, you may not get the perfect fit.
 
Choose the size that fits best according to the table below.
If you fall between two sizes choose the larger one.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions.

Correct Scale System

 

The development of a correct scale system has been an important target for Equimade. Every year we measure approximately 70 different measurements on sport horses to improve the fit. The modern breeding continuously develops the sport horses so the scale system must be updated and evolve with its users. 

The alignment of the products is extremely important to ensure that everything fits comfortably. This prevents the horses from getting rubs and ensures that nothing slips.
