I'm worming my almost 9 month old Dutch warmblood foal today. I don't suppose any of you lovely people could give me a rough estimate of what he 'could' weigh? Or what your warmblood type weighed at his age? He's currently about 14.2hh, to make 16hh (but I feel he may end up bigger). I've attached a photo of him. He's petrified of the weigh tape, so that's a job for me to desensitise him to that for next time 🙈

I tend to over-estimate as de-wormer is very hard to over-dose, it's usually tested as safe for many times the dose (Do check the packet on individual wormers)
I'd estimate around 350kg

Thanks! Yes from Google research I was guessing around 350kg too.
