I know that weight tapes etc can be quite inacurate but I was just curious as to how many of you own a 15hh TB type (ie l/w) and how much they weigh, or if anyone knows the "average" weight of a 15hh is?

Before I get jumped on-I assess her condition based on how she looks and what I can feel, and how she looks in herself, I'm just curious.
 
I've just sold my 15.1h TB mare. She weighed 435Kg when fit. Using a weigh tape.

When I sold her, she was measuring in at 490Kg (post having a foal) and was looking a little "too well"!
 
My girlie (lightweight TB type, though not a TB

) was 15.1 ish when we got her as a five year old and weighed 460kg - she wasnt in the best of condition then though.

Weighed last year (15.2, aged 13 in good condition) she was 525kg

Hope that helps a bit!
 
Thanks. I was curious as I was at the yard and a friend was 'playing' (I can think of no better word!) and decided that my mare MUST be OVERWEIGHT as she measures at 44okg. She's a veteran and looking a bit lean after winter, not terrible by any means but the way she was talking I should be soaking hay, putting her in a grazing muzzle and all but starving the poor old lass!

I might just show her this to point out that not all horses MUST weigh the same...

Anyhoo, I don't think I'll be taking up her offer to look after for me when I go away!!
