Imperial Riding Fundamental Fleece Rug with Neck - Black
Use this size guide to find the correct rug size for your horse. Imperial Riding rugs are labelled using both UK rug sizing (feet) and US blanket sizing (inches) — both describe the same rug length.
How to measure your horse for a rug:
- Bottom length (also the EU Size on the chart) — measure along the side of the horse, from the middle of the chest, around the shoulder, to the end of the quarters (just past the point of the buttock). This is the standard measurement used for UK and US rug sizing.
- Top length — measure in a straight line along the back, from the base of the neck (at the withers) to the base of the tail.
- Horse height — measured from the ground to the top of the withers. Use the hands (hh) column if you know your horse's height in hands, or centimetres if you've measured with a height stick.

The Imperial Riding Fleece Rug with Neck - Fundamental is a polar fleece rug with a high neck, designed to give your horse extra comfort and help keep it warm after an intensive training session or a wash.
This is the Black edition.
The high neck fastens with a double hook-and-loop closure, and a practical loop lets you attach it to the headcollar so it stays in place. A double front closure and cross surcingles give the rug a secure, stable fit.
An embroidered Imperial Riding logo with a metallic finish sits on the rug.
Available from 165cm to 215cm. All Imperial Riding rugs are listed in EU sizing. Refer to the size chart to convert your horse's size to UK or US sizing.
