The right size is essential for comfort, safety and performance in equestrian sport. At Maddelin Equestrian we're happy to help you choose the right size, so your equipment fits well: riding wear, helmets, boots or equipment for your horse.
Clothing that is too tight or too loose can restrict your freedom of movement and affect your aids. Always measure carefully and use our size charts as a guide.
Fit varies from brand to brand, so you'll find specific information on each product page. Not sure? Send us a message or come and try in our shop in Torhout.

Between two sizes? We usually recommend the larger size, unless stated otherwise on the product. In our experience, Italian brands (such as Animo, Cavalleria Toscana and Vestrum) tend to come up small.
Rugs
How to measure your horse: using a soft tape measure, measure from the centre of the chest, over the point of the shoulder, horizontally along the body to the furthest point of the hindquarters. This is the total length.
Always check the brand's size chart. A rug size in cm (for example 125 or 145) is the back length for most brands, and how it converts to feet differs per brand. Some brands, such as Bucas, also measure differently. That's why every rug comes with the brand's own size information.
The table below converts the total length from feet to cm. This conversion is the same for every brand.
| Feet | Inches | Total length (cm) |

| 3'0 | 36 | 91 |
| 3'3 | 39 | 99 |

Product Information
A sporty carbon look from Charles Owen
The Charles Owen EQx Hyda Matt Carbon Standard Peak is a modern riding helmet for riders who value comfort and a smart appearance. The matt carbon look with subtle gloss accents gives this helmet a refined, sporty finish without eye-catching glitter details.
With its classic Standard Peak, the Hyda keeps a timeless silhouette that suits an elegant dressage outfit as well as a sportier show jumping turnout. A versatile choice for ambitious leisure riders and competition riders looking for a helmet for everyday use.
Dial-Fit: a precisely adjustable fit
A riding helmet has to fit well to be worn correctly. That is why the Charles Owen EQx Hyda has a practical Dial-Fit adjustment system.
The dial at the back lets you adjust the fit of the helmet easily within the size range, so you can match it more precisely to your head circumference.
The system is especially handy if you want a helmet that is easy to adjust. It remains important to choose the right shell, though: a dial cannot fully correct the wrong size or a head shape that does not suit the helmet.
Mips®: extra attention to rotational forces
The EQx Hyda features Mips® technology (Multi-directional Impact Protection System). This system is designed to help reduce the rotational motion transmitted to the head in certain angled impacts.
Mips is an additional feature within the helmet construction. It does not prevent accidents and cannot rule out head injury, but it is a relevant feature for riders who deliberately choose a riding helmet with this technology.
Comfort during schooling and competition
During a long schooling session, you mainly want your riding helmet to be comfortable and stay in place. The lightweight construction of the Charles Owen EQx Hyda is designed for comfortable everyday use.
The removable, washable headband is a practical advantage if you ride regularly. You can hand wash it separately and replace it when needed.
The helmet is also compatible with EQx Standard and EQx 2.0 headbands. That makes care easier and lets you renew a worn headband without replacing the whole helmet straight away.
Matt Carbon: understated luxury in two colours
The Hyda Matt Carbon stands out with its matt carbon look combined with gloss details. You can choose from two smart versions:
- Black Matte Carbon with Black Gloss: matt black carbon look with gloss black accents for a strong, timeless look.
- Navy Matte Carbon with Navy Gloss: dark blue carbon look with gloss navy details for an elegant, understated finish.
The Standard Peak gives both versions a classic look. If you are looking for a riding helmet with a wider peak and more shade at the front, a Wide Peak version is worth considering.
