Not sure which size to choose? Here are our most common recommendations:- If your horse wears a rug around 145–155 cm (78–81 inches) and usually uses Full-size saddle pads: choose Full.
- If your pony is between 120–140 cm (47–55 inches or 11.2–13.2 hands) in height: choose Pony.
- If you have a small pony like a Shetland or Mini under 115 cm (45 inches or 11 hands): choose Shetland.
- If you have an Icelandic horse around 140–145 cm (55–57 inches or 13.3–14.1 hands): choose Cob. It fits most Icelandics.
