Measuring for Rugs:
The rug length is measured from the centre of the chest, around the shoulder, along the side, to the end of the hindquarters. Add 2" or 3" to this measurement and order the nearest size. Rugs are available in 3" steps (see below)
The table below indicates approximate rug sizes but should be used as a guide only

Measuring for Bridles & Headcollars etc:
To find out the size of Dinky bridle or headcollar needed we use 3 measurements; the A, B and C measurements:
A) From the bottom of the prominent cheekbone, over the top of the head (behind the ears) to the bottom of the other prominent cheekbone
B) Around the nose, just under the prominent cheekbones
C) Around the muzzle, just above the corner of the lips
If you can supply us with these 3 measurements we can usually tell you which items will fit your pony or donkey
The table below indicates approximate head sizes but should be used as a guide only
| HEIGHT: | RUG SIZE: | HEAD SIZE: |
| 22" - 30" | 2'9" - 3'0" | XS (Small Mini) |
| 30" - 37" | 3'3" - 4'0" | S (Miniature) |
| 38" - 12.2hh | 4'3" - 5'0" | M (Small Pony) |
