The most important measurements for a horse blanket are the back length and the side depth. For normally built horses, the total length and neck width are equivalent. However, if you have a particularly narrow, large or wide horse, it might be worth taking individual measurements to ensure the blanket fits perfectly.

For kidney and exercise blankets, the measurement from the saddle to the base of the tail as well as the side depth are important. For exercise blankets, the recess for the saddle could play a role in special saddles.

The back length and the side depth are the decisive measurements for a saddle pad. For our "Clearance" models, we first measure as if the withers cutout did not exist.

Important when measuring the back length: The saddle pad ends about 3 cm behind the saddle. It must not be too long, otherwise it will restrict the horse's movement. It must also not be too short and end under the saddle, otherwise pressure points will occur. Our experience shows that 55 cm back length fits most saddles.

Important when measuring the side depth: The saddle pad including the girth loops ends below the saddle flap. For saddles with long girth straps, make sure that the girth does not lie on the saddle pad. The girth rollers are always located below the saddle pad to avoid pressure points.

Important when measuring the withers cut: This seems to be the most complicated part, but it is actually the easiest. Because of our processing method, there are no problems here, even if the measurement is not optimal. Our experience shows that for most horses, a cutout of around 15 cm is sufficient.

To determine the measurements, you can use any other saddle pad, put it (with saddle) on your horse and mark all the points mentioned above with chalk. To measure, lay the saddle pad flat on the ground and measure all the points.
