Horseware Sizing Guide
Horseware Blanket Sizing: Rambo, Amigo and Rhino
One measurement sizes Rambo, Amigo and Rhino.
Measure from the center of your horse's chest, across the point of the shoulder, to the center of the tail. Take 4 inches off that number and read Horseware's chart; the same size fits Rambo, Amigo and Rhino.
How to measure your horse for a Horseware blanket
Horseware sizes Rambo, Amigo and Rhino blankets from one tape measurement, and riders report the sizes run true. The one step most people miss is Horseware's own: take 4 inches (10 cm) off the reading before you look at the chart.
- Stand your horse square on level ground.
- Hold the end of a soft tape at the center point of the chest.
- Run the tape across the point of the shoulder and along the side of the body.
- Stop at the center of the tail and read the number in inches.
- Take 4 inches off that number and find the result on the Horse, Pony or Petite chart below.
ALSO the size is true. Remus is a 78 and Horseware 78 fit him PERFECT
I agree with true to size. The majority of Peter’s blankets are Horseware (Rambo with one Amigo) and he is an 81″ across all and wears an 81″ in the 2 other brands I have for him.
Horseware size charts: Horse, Pony and Petite
Horseware prints three charts. Horse sizes run from 66 to 90 inches, Pony from 45 to 69 and Petite from 30 to 48, and the charts overlap so a large pony or small horse can use either. Read your number, after taking off the 4 inches, down the inches column of the chart that matches your horse.

Horseware hood and exercise sheet sizes
A Horseware hood is sized from the blanket, not from a new measurement: find your horse's rug size, then read across to the hood size. A 66 or 69 takes a Small hood, 72 or 75 a Medium, 78 or 81 a Large, and 84 to 90 an XL. Exercise and competition sheets come in Small to XLarge, each covering two blanket sizes from 66 to 87 inches.

Rambo, Amigo or Rhino: which cut fits your horse
Rambo, Amigo and Rhino share one Horseware size chart, so the same number fits all three; what changes from line to line is the cut. Riders report that the higher, snugger Wug neckline on Rambo and Rhino suits narrow, high-withered horses, that Amigo fits wide, draft-type and big-chested horses, and that Rhino runs narrower than Rambo or Amigo. The Rambo Optimo adds an extra-high gusset and comes with a recommendation to size down one. For a side-by-side on the two biggest lines, see Rambo vs Amigo blankets.
I've purchased just about every brand of blanket out there and always go back to the Rambo because of the cut and shape: they have good cut for the wither and shoulder that I just don't see in other brands.
Amigo Bravo 12 Plus Turnout 250g
★★★★☆
Love this blanket. It’s the only truly waterproof blanket I trust. I wish it came in a 70 though. And it’s too narrow through the shoulders of my stocky QH so when I only use it in the rain or snow. Still worth it to know he’ll be dry under his blanket when the weather gets bad. Wish Amigo had more stock horse cut options.
Sizing a wide-chested, stocky or draft horse in Horseware
A wide chest is the most common reason to go up a size in Horseware. Riders with cobs and stocky Quarter Horses report going up one size in Amigo, while an owner of a draft finds the Amigo XL cut fits with room to spare, and others credit the gussets for room through big shoulders. If your horse is between sizes and broad through the shoulder, take the larger size; if the length is right but the chest is tight, look at an XL or high-gusset cut before going longer. For other makers, see Horse Blanket Sizing.
I have Amigos for all my lot now, I have the 600D lightweights and the 1200D Bravos which have rings to fasten liners in them. I've had to go up a size in the Amigos for my wide chested cob, but the Rambo Wug I used to have fit him great, only problem is he is a rug wrecker so doesn't get nice things!
They are wearing like iron and for the first time ever - no rubs...gussets...plenty of room for her big shoulders.
★★★★★
This blanket fit my draft perfectly with a little extra wiggle room. The quality of this blanket is top-notch and I am very pleased with everything. I will be purchasing more Amigo horse blankets in the future with Tack of the Day. Thank you!
Love the designe and quality The size 81 fits my Friesian very well with the ability to adjust. It stay in place Fit is great
What riders say about Horseware blanket fit
Have tired so many other brands and none fit quite right. First try on my gelding was a glass slipper moment!
Amigo turnout sheets are one of my favorite! Great value, excellent fit and long lasting
It fits really well on my Quarter horse, a little short on his, but that is expected for him. He really enjoys it, and he destroys everything, but he has yet to destroy it.
Amigo Bravo 12 Plus Turnout 400g
★★★★★
The amigo blanket is an amazing product for those not wanting to splurge on a Rambo. It runs to the size and my mare who is in 81, it fits her perfectly. The blanket keeps her toasty even in 10° weather. The hood is very unique and fits perfectly on her too. The color is very nice and the materials are nice too.

Horseware Blanket Sizing FAQ
How do I measure my horse for a Horseware blanket?
Stand your horse square and run a soft tape from the center of the chest, across the point of the shoulder, to the center of the tail. Take 4 inches off that number and find the result on Horseware's chart.
CloseDo Horseware blankets run true to size?
Riders report that they do: one horse that measures 78 wears a Horseware 78, and another wears an 81 in Rambo, Amigo and two other brands. Take the 4 inches off first.
CloseWhat is the difference between Horse, Pony and Petite sizes?
They are three charts for different lengths: Horse runs from 66 to 90 inches, Pony from 45 to 69 and Petite from 30 to 48. Where they overlap, use the chart that matches your horse's build.
CloseShould I size up in Amigo for a wide-chested horse?
Often, yes. Riders with wide-chested cobs report going up one size in Amigo, and drafts and big crosses fit the Amigo XL cuts. If the length fits but the chest is tight, try an XL cut first.
CloseHow do I find my Horseware hood size?
Use your horse's rug size: 66 or 69 takes a Small hood, 72 or 75 a Medium, 78 or 81 a Large, and 84 to 90 an XL.
