Correct weight?

[Wildforestpony18]

What would you guys say the correct weight for a 16 year old 13.3 new forest mare? Approximations obviously, but she is around 350 - 375kg at the moment. No nasty comments please, just opinions

It would really depend on her build and conformation. You'd be better to assess her condition score and get an accurate idea of her condition relative to her build

No idea about the stamp of yours but mine is 373kg and he's finally a 3 on the 1-5 body score. He's 4 and 13.3hh

Depends on build. My 13.3 sec D has 8 inches of bone so fairly chunky, and here she is just over her ideal which is 347kg on the weightape.

Bearing in mind she has been out of work though, so needs to build up muscle again.
