Ok, so I'm rubbish with weights and could just do with knowing how much an average 15hh horse would weigh..

500lb's or 500kg's??

I understand this is very much finger in the wind regarding a 15hh horse, but don't know if they weigh in kg's or lb's!!

Thanks for replies!
 
Phew!!! Thank you! I just had to double, triple check!

"Someone" said that he should only be eating an absolute max of 15lb's of hayledge/hay a day?!

I like to ad lib feed and he gets a lot more than that!

So i've been working out his daily recommend hayledge allowance, taking into consideration 2.5% of his bodyweight, and if he weighed 500lb's, he'd only get 12.5lb's a day! He has that in one night net!!!

So I can rest easy knowing that he is "recommended" to have 27.5lb's a day and can now argue the point!! :D

Thanks again! hehe!
