I've just bought a 15.2hh Welsh Section D! :) He's my first horse and he didn't come with any rugs, so I need to buy them all! He'll be stabled at night and out during the day.I plan to buy: two fleeces, a show fleece, a medium weight stable rug, a lightweight turnout and a mediumweight turnout rug.Will he be warm enough?
You'll need to measure him, from the centre of the breast along the side of the horse to the point of buttock It is better and more comfortable for the horse if the rug is a bit too big rather than too small. My friend has a horse similar to yours and she gets 6'3 rugs, you could try around that size, maybe even a 6'0? If you live in the UK and get a lot of snow at winter in your area, you will probably want heavyweight rugs too :)
If you really think you need a turnout rug for your Welsh Cob then you will need to measure him. My loan pony is a Welsh Section D and she doesn't need a rug she is absouloutley fine Welsh Section D's don't have turnout rugs in the wild and they don't need them (unless your horse is clipped) But I think a show fleece and a stable rug would be a good idea xx
