Important ordering information

Before ordering please read this page carefully, this page ensures that you have all the information that may be required before entering the order process.


The Boett Sweet Itch Blanket fits in a unique way. To enable us to supply you with the correct size we require exact information. Please therefore take the time to measure precisely, and to complete the form accurately. If you have one available, a fairly recent photograph of your horse or pony is helpful to us.

Measuring for a Boett Blanket:
To measure your horse for a Blanket (easier with two people) we suggest that you use two lengths of hay string or a ball of string, because tape measures are often not long enough for larger breeds. The string should be pulled tight enough to take up any slack and either knotted or cut at the appropriate point. It can then be measured away from the horse - but make sure you measure the correct piece - not the discarded end!
Note that the 'A' measurement is taken from the centre of the chest, where rug chest straps would fasten, to the end of the hindquarters, but NOT round to the tail (Imagine your horse is backed up to a wall - you are basically measuring from the centre of the chest to that invisible wall, which will be the longest point of the horse). This measurement should be within a few inches of the length of the rug that the horse normally wears. As a guide:-

Pony wears 5ft.0" rug = 60" 'A' expected to be 56" - 59"
" "
5ft 9" rug = 69" 'A' " " " 66" - 68"
Horse wears 6ft 3" rug= 75" 'A' " " " 72" - 73"
" "
6ft 9" rug = 81" 'A' " " " 77" - 79"

The 'B' measurement is taken around the loins, like a surcingle fastened just in front of the hind legs. The 'B' measurement is ALMOST ALWAYS LARGER THAN 'A'. If it is not, please take both measurements again.

Ordering a Hood

It is not possible to measure all the planes and angles of a horse's head to produce useful measurements for sizing the hood. However it is helpful for us to know precisely which head collar or bridle size your horse wears (e.g. is it Small Cob, Medium Cob or Large Cob rather than just "Cob Size") - and similarly with pony and full size. Also please tell us if your horse or pony has a particularly small or large head in comparison to the rest of his build.

Placing Your Order
If you are uncertain about any aspect of our Order Form, or are short of time, providing you have taken the 'A' and 'B' measurements, just pick up the telephone and call us (01352 771718) - we will do the rest for you. We keep a record of the size and colour of all previous purchases, so if you want another blanket or hood of the same size we would not normally require you to re-measure.
Otherwise, having completed the Order Form, you can go on to complete the on-line order form. For security reasons we do not take credit card details on line, but submitting the accompanying Order Form will ensure that we have all the necessary information about your horse to hand when you telephone with your card details.

Alternatively you can print off a copy of the form for completion by hand, and fax or mail it to us, together with your credit card details.

Exchanges
To avoid the need for exchanges it is important that you provide accurate measurements and details for your horse so that we can send you the most appropriate size of blanket. Please make sure you measure from the CENTRE of the chest for the 'A' measurement and around the loins, just in front of the hind legs, for the 'B' measurement. Assuming the measurements are correct, most blanket sizes fit well "off the peg" but with so many different horse shapes it may occasionally be necessary for an owner to make minor adjustments for a particular horse.
If a blanket or hood is too tight we will gladly exchange it for a larger size if returned to us in an unused state within 14 days from the day received.
You should ensure returned items are adequately packed and that you obtain proof of posting in the unlikely event of loss or damage in transit. Soiled blankets or hoods will not be considered for exchange or refund. (Please use 'Sellotape' to remove stray hairs). Replacement goods and refunds are subject to a delivery charge at cost. Before returning any goods for refund or exchange PLEASE speak to us first.
