Important ordering information

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:
Measuring is easier if you have a helper. We suggest that you use two lengths of hay string knotted together (tape measures are often not long enough) which can then be measured away from the horse. The measure should be pulled just tight enough to take up any slack. Please DO NOT use a weigh tape to measure.

Note that the ‘A’ measurement is taken from the centre of the chest, where New Zealand 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:-

The ‘B’ measurement is taken using a loop of string around the horse’s loin (waist). 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, simply pick up the telephone and speak to us — we will do the rest for you.
Otherwise, having completed the Order Form, you can go on to complete the on-line order form. For your security we do not take credit card details on-line - after placing your order please make a brief ‘phone call to us with these details.

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

Pricing

For carriage charges to countries other than the UK please speak to us.
VAT is deducted for customers outside the EEC.

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. Please make sure your horse is standing ‘square’, on level ground and measure from the centre of the chest to the end of the buttock 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 an item 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, but please use ‘Sellotape’ to remove stray hairs. Replacement goods and refunds are subject to a delivery charge at cost and refunds to a re-stocking charge. Before returning any goods for refund or exchange PLEASE speak to us first.

Soiled goods cannot be considered for exchange or refund. 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.
