Bucas Show-Line Competition Cooler
Use this size guide to find the correct rug size for your horse. Bucas sizes rugs by length, in centimetres. Each size also has a UK feet-and-inches reference and a US inches reference.
How to measure your horse for a Bucas rug:
- Body length (A to B): measure from the centre of the chest, over the highest point of the shoulder, to the rear of the hind leg. Bucas uses this single measurement to set the rug size.
Bucas measures to the rear of the hind leg. Other UK rug brands often measure to the point of the buttock instead. These two methods can give different readings on the same horse, so always use a horse's Bucas measurement when choosing a Bucas rug. Do not reuse a size or measurement taken for another brand's rug.
If your horse falls between two sizes, or you are unsure of the measurement, contact Bucas directly. Bucas can post you a measuring tape: email admin@bucas.com to request one.

The Show-Line Competition Cooler is an excellent choice for keeping your horse comfortable on warm days. The cooler features a mesh lower that helps to circulate air around the horse, keeping them cool and comfortable. The Stay-dry upper of the cooler helps to keep the back warm and comfortable, preventing any back chills. The cooler comes with faux fur on the withers, a T-bar front closure, internal detachable cross surcingles, and a fillet string.
The back area of the cooler features our Stay-dry fabric, which is perfect for drying off a washed horse as it wicks moisture from the skin, leaving your horse happy and comfortable after exercise. The Show-Line Competition Cooler comes with contrasting binding and piping that make it the perfect match for your Show-Line Saddle Pads and Fly Bonnet. Available in sizes 125/5’6 to 165/7’0.
