How to Measure a Horse for a Blanket
The most accurate and easiest way to determine your horse’s blanket size is to measure along the side of their body, from chest to tail. First, stand the horse square on a flat surface. Measure from the center of the chest, straight back to the very edge of the tail. Make sure to measure along the widest part of their shoulder and hindquarters. The number of inches measured in this way is your horse’s size. Look on the size chart for any Schneiders blanket for this number of inches to order your horse’s perfect size.

"I love the durability of this blanket. I also love the belly band. I truly think that it is so much warmer in our South Dakota winters. I love the different shapes and sizes of blankets that Schnieders offers to fit every horse shape and size and their guide to get the correct fit. :)"
"My gelding is very hard to find anything to fit him . . high withers, his neck ties in low, a deep heart girth and a short back at 16. 2 hands 1180 lbs and only 4 yrs old . . Armor flex Challenger 2 closed front fits him like it was custom made just for him . . he’s also rambunctious it’s built tough as well . I’ll buy another in the future . ."
"This has been a great blanket for our Thoroughbred. Its exterior is great for the wind chills we get. The interior Velcro square came loose, and customer service was quick to respond and address the issue. Can’t say enough good things about this company."
"Frankly I like the fact that it fits a variety of horses. Plenty of room for the wide ones, but the adjustable neck allows us to throw one on one of our narrower, higher-withered horses as well. Keeps them dry, doesn't chafe in the shoulder. Stays in place (and we had some truly windy days). Serviceable when it counts."
"I own an Arabian. Even though he is the strudy type as opposed to the refined body type, he still has narrow shoulders. This turnout sheet is the only sheet I've found that doesn't cause rub marks on his shoulders. What a relief for him!"
"As promised, fits the quarter horse. Mine is a wide shouldered, big stout horse and the gussets and adjustability were absolute necessities. I am sure this sheet will last for many years since we only used them maybe 3x per year in South Florida :)"
"I always like the Schneider sheets and blankets. My horses usually take a 78 and 80 in other brands so I got it for these sheets also. It seems either these run larger or the ones I've gotten in the past ran small (my money would be on the other blankets). The quality of these sheets is very high so I know I'll be able to use them for more than a season or two. They are also heavier than a normal sheet from other places. Schneider is going to be my go to for sheets and blankets in the future"
"I bought a size 68 for my 15'1 quarter horse TB cross. Others blankets I tried were too big in the neck, and I thought that a bad fit was partly the reason his mane was rubbed off at the end of the winter. Although I might have thought he was a 70, the 68 fit perfectly in every way, and the neck is a not too big. I like that there is adjustability in the front, ample tail cover, and the sides don't hang down as long as other blankets. I wanted to get the heavyweight in the same blanket--unfortunately sold out for now in a 68."
"My no wither cowhorse was well taken care of over the winter with this blanket. Fit well, strong and durable, hardware and Velcro holds up nicely. Perfect weight for winter in Eastern Oregon."
"I was in need of a sheet for my guy! I always use Schneider’s because of how wide and big chested he is. I absolutely LOVE the color of this sheet! Very hunter green! The cut seems a bit “higher” than I am used to, but overall it does its job! He is usually an 82/84 in other brands (amigo) but I get him an 80 in Schneiders. They tend to run on the bigger side!"
