What size should I choose for my equidiva mask/cap?
All measurements are approximate and for guidance only.

Premium mask size guide

Using a tape measure (or string, which you can measure later), go around your horse's head as shown in the photo:


Mask size Head circumference
XS - Shetland 84 cm
S - Pony 90 cm
M - Cob 94 cm
L - Full 100 cm
XL - XFull 110 cm
If your horse's head measurement is between 2 sizes, we recommend taking the nearest larger size.


Size guide - Equivizor masks (Light, Arso, Convalescence models)

For these masks, the main measurement is that of your horse's forehead. To do this, add up 3 measurements:

  1. start at the outer corner of one eye and measure upwards at a slight angle to the middle of the forehead (measurement A),
  2. continue along your horse's forehead (measure B),
  3. finish the measurement by pointing the line slightly downwards to the outer corner of the other eye (measurement C). In this way, you measure the widest part of your horse's forehead.

Add these 3 measurements (A+B+C) to obtain the size of your horse's forehead.

IMPORTANT: do not measure directly from one eye to the other, as this will probably give a measurement that is too small.

Mask size Forehead size
XS - Shetland 18-21 cm
S - Pony 22-28 cm
M - Cob 29-33 cm
L - Full 34-37 cm
XL - XFull 38-43 cm

Rambo mask size guide

Take these 3 steps:
Size A B C
XS (large shetland) 60 cm 84 cm 20 cm
S (pony) 70 cm 96 cm 23 cm
M (cob) 70 cm 96 cm 25.5 cm
L (full) 75 cm 105 cm 27 cm

If your horse is between two sizes, we advise you to take the smaller size.


Size guide - Equivet mask

Measure the distance between the center of the horse's eyes:

Mask size Distance between eyes
S - Pony 18 cm
M - Cob 21 cm
L - Full 24 cm
XL - XFull 26 cm
