FAQ
All your questions, answered.
- Wear Your Riding Boots: Put on the riding boots you'll wear with the stirrups.
- Measure Your Boot: Place a tape measure across the widest part of your boot, around the ball of your foot. Make it snug but not tight.
- Calculate Stirrup Width: Add 1 inch (or 2.5-3 cm) to that measurement.
- Check for Clearance: When you place your foot in the stirrup, you should have about ½ inch of space on either side of the boot for safety and movement.
- Adults: Often 4.75" (12cm) or 5".
- Children: Smaller sizes like 4.5" or child-specific sizes.
- Too Tight: Risk of foot getting stuck if you fall.
- Too Loose: Foot can slide through, making it hard to keep the stirrup correctly placed.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
