Sorry to explain a bit more it's a horse i'm looking at to buy and need to know for a new lorry i'm getting.I have a welsh d as well so just adding up weights for when travelling them both - if i get this horse.

Well I have a 15.3 tb xid, who weighs 590kg.

There's a formula for working out the weight, or of course try a weight tape. This link gives you the formula:

Im sorry, that was my attempt at a joke. Very bad I know and not very helpful!

*leaves with head hanging in shame*

 

[Baggybreeches]

I will get your coat!

I would expect it not weigh more than 600kg, be careful using weightapes, they reckon my ginger ID is only 560kgs, and I guarantee she definitely is the up side of 600kgs!

Now come on Kat - that's a bit vague. Try and be helpful

 

[Rambo]

I would have said between 600kgs and 650kgs

Better to over estimate than under though

 

[henryhorn]

600-700kg

 

[StaceyTanglewood]

hang on ill get my groom to weigh my 16hh belgium warmblood lightweight mare !!!

oh actually i cant she is in foal so might not be good !!!

I think she was about 600 though ! !

I would also guess around the 600kg mark.

Be careful with weight tapes, although good for monitoring if your horse has lost/gained weight they are not so good at getting the actual weight right. They say my 16.3 IDxTB is just under 600kg
