How do you measure bone?Silly Q I know!

[WelshRareBit]

And what bone size does a light weight/medium weight/heavy weight have.

One of the ladies at the yard said Murphy has about 10inches of bone..is that a lot??

Thanks

Bone is the circumference of the cannon bone just under the knee.
10" is a lot. Hattie has that and she is a heavy weight cob.
LW/MW/HW really depend on the breed of the horse.

I wouldnt say Murphy was a heavyweight so 10" is probably a bit off! Thanks

I remember taking a friends mare to a TB stallion a few years ago and he had 9" of bone.
