Let’s talk Heavy Horse fit rugs… 👀🐴
Don’t be fooled by the name! “Heavy Horse” doesn’t just mean they’re only for Shires or Suffolk Punches. These rugs are designed for any horse with a broader, chunkier build.
Here we’ve got the gorgeous Atlas (kindly loaned from Smart Performance Horses- Sam Walton ) for an afternoon of dressing up!💙
He’s a 17hh ID x Cob who wears a 6ft9 Heavy Horse fit rug — and as you can see, the fit speaks for itself! He’s modelling just a small selection of the Heavy Horse fit rugs we currently have available…
📏 Available in sizes 6ft upto 7ft6! 📏
So, what makes a Heavy Horse / broad fit rug different?
✨ Made for wider builds
Perfect for Cobs, Irish Draughts, Drafts, and those solid, muscular types all well as your traditional Heavy horse breeds.
✨ More room where it matters
• Wider neckline for chunky necks & broad chests
• Generous shoulder gussets = better movement, less restriction
• Deeper cut to avoid that “mini skirt” look
• Roomier body for those apple-bottom shapes 🍑
• Bigger tail flap for full coverage
✨ Say goodbye to common rug struggles
No more tight chests, rubbed manes, or having to size up and ending up with a rug that’s far too long!
👉 When should you choose a Heavy Horse fit?
• Your horse is a Cob, ID, or heavier type
• Standard rugs fit the length but are tight at the front
• You’re constantly sizing up for width
• You notice rubbing around the mane or withers
If you’ve got a broad-built beauty like Atlas, a Heavy Horse fit rug can make all the difference in comfort and movement 🙌
