Fitting Canterpants

Canterpants are worn loosely suspended to allow for cool airflow.

There are 4 short videos showing how to connect the components of Canterpants.

Please ensure you also check the rug requirements.

  • Fitting the Belly Band

    To fit the Belly Band simply pass the band over your horse's back and buckle at the near side elbow.

    It should be gently hugging your horse - not tight.

    We recommend fitting Canterpants under the rug.

  • Fitting the Chest Buckle

    The Chest Buckle is simply clipped over the rug's chest strap as the anchor point for the front buckle of the front Canterpants.

    Alternatively, you can thread the chest strap through the closed chest buckle.

  • Fitting Front Canterpants

    Canterpants are connected by the two straps. The front strap is connected to the Chest Buckle and the back strap is connected to the Belly Band.

    If you are not using the Belly Band and Chest Buckle you will need to provide alternative connection points at the chest and behind the elbows.

  • Fitting Hind Canterpants

    Canterpants are connected by the two straps. The front strap is connected to the stifle leg strap D Ring and the back strap is connected to the rump leg strap D ring.

    If your rug doesn't have these connection points, you will need to provide connection points in these locations.
