Measuring Your Horse for the Perfect Fit: Blankets, Masks, and More
Few things are more frustrating than ordering new gear only to find it doesn’t fit. A blanket that’s too small rubs shoulders; too large, and it slips dangerously. The same goes for fly masks or protective sheets. That’s why learning how to properly measure your horse is essential. Every Kensington product has a sizing and measurement chart on each listing, and we've even made a video on how to measure your horse for our blankets and sheets.
