Short = Showing and hacking.
Standard = Dressage, show-jumping, pony club and general riding.
Long = Western pleasure and breed showing.

Using a soft tape measure, start at the side of the dock where the tailbone meets the rump and follow the natural fall of the tail. If your desired length is not on the size chart then call us for a custom order.

Average = Dock size will match the height of your horse.
Thin (Fine) = You will need a smaller dock size.
Thick (Bushy) = You will need a larger dock size.

For example: You have a 15.2hh horse (Sml Hack) and he has an average dock we would make the bag with a hack dock size(3). If he has a thin (fine) dock we would choose galloway dock size(2), or if he has a really thick (bushy) dock we would choose a warmblood dock size(4).

Confused? The best thing to do if you're not quite sure is to provide a circumference measurement around the widest part of the dock at the top. Write this measurement (cms) in the dock section of the order form and we will work it out for you. Or call us and we'll talk you through it! (03 5782 0406)

 
Pick a length slightly longer than your tail to allow for some growth.
When you get your new tailbag hold it up against the horse first, instead of putting it on, to check if it’s roughly the right length. If it doesn’t fit, you can send it back unmarked for another size.
Swish horse specialises in a perfect fit and it is important to us that you are completely happy. If you have individual requirements please provide a dock/length measurement and we can custom make to suit.
