LeMieux Size Guides
LeMieux sizing doesn't always match other brands, so it's worth checking these charts before you order. This guide covers clothing and footwear for women, men and children, and the main horse wear: saddle pads, half pads, rugs, horse boots, bridles, reins, headcollars and fly masks. Some products have their own sizing notes, so check the product page too.
If you're between sizes, or not sure, call us on 01823 481484 or ask in our Taunton store.

How to measure yourself
- Chest: under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist: around your natural waist, the narrowest part.
- Hips: around the fullest part, with your feet together.
- Inside leg: from the crotch to the bottom of the leg.
Breeches are made from stretch fabric, so they measure shorter before they're worn. Some styles are a close fit, so if you're not sure, go up a size.

Children's clothing
Children's sizes go by age, but children grow at different rates, so use the measurements to find the right size. Measure height from the top of the head to the floor, with no shoes on and feet together. Chest and waist are body measurements. Inside leg is the measurement of the breeches themselves, so allow for the stretch.

Saddle pads and half pads
Choose a pad by the size and shape of your saddle, not just the size of your horse. The pad should show a little all the way round the saddle, without sitting too far back. Dressage, general purpose (GP), close contact and jump pads are different shapes, so match the pad to your saddle.
Saddle pads
| PAD | Dressage | Dressage | Dressage | GP | GP | Close contact | Close contact | Euro jump |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Rugs
To measure your horse for a rug, run a tape from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock, just beside the tail. That gives you the rug size. The heights below are a starting point, but build matters: a stocky cob may need a bigger rug than its height suggests.

Horse boots
Boot size depends on your horse's height and build. A horse with fine legs may need a size smaller than one with stocky legs, and hind boots are often a size bigger than fronts. Each style fits a little differently, so check the product page for the boot you're buying. These are general guides for the most common types.
