How to measure your horse
You can use a soft tape measure to take these measurements directly. Alternatively, you can use a rope or piece of string: cut it at the relevant point and then measure the piece of string.
- To start off, wrap your tape measure around the barrel of your horse approximately where your saddle’s girth would go.
- Adjust it so that it passes just behind the withers and just behind the elbows.
- Make sure the tape measure is pulled securely against your horse’s body but not tight.
Measure straight from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock.
