This message is from: Robin Churchill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you buy a larger size, it is bigger in the chest but eventually is much too long. There is a blanket that Rambo makes called Rambo XL which is made for the bigger bodied horse but the smallest size they come in is a 75 inch so if your horse is at least a 75 I would try that. Ooruk fits pretty well in Weatherbeeta brand but he is not a real drafty fjord. I have never tried Big D. The Dover brands are not that well-fitting for a fjord. I have some now but plan to replace them with another brand when they wear out. Hope that helps,
