Amy,

Measuring is done from the middle of your horse's chest to the middle of his 
backside, under his tail..going around the widest part of the horse.

Here is what I have for each horse:

A polar fleece cooler
A waterproof sheet
A cotton mesh anti-sweat sheet
A light weight cotton sheet

This combination will get you through ANY combination of weather.

I have had the polar fleece and WP sheet on in a snowstorm and my horse was 
dry and warm under his blanket.

I also have a wool cooler I use

I tend to visit tack swaps alot, so blankets and coolers are cheap there.

The mesh anti-sweat sheet gets used ALOT when the weather is our moderate 
50-60 degrees and my horse is sweaty from a ride. I put it on him on the 
ride home, and by the time we get home, he is dry and cool. I can even 
sponge him off with water after riding if I "towel" him off and then put 
this on for the way home..I hate dirty horses..:)

The cotton sheet gets used alot at rides in the summer for overnight when a 
fleece cooler would be too much.

> Hi Tie or Spring Tie?  Is the Spring Tie squeaky, will the Hi Tie hold up
