I did have a really crap weigh tape on which my 16.2hh TBx mare was off the scale (it put her at over 600kg.)

Anyway, I've just got a new, more accurate one, and it actually measures her at just 446kg. Is this normal or too light? How much do your TBs weigh?

NB. I do condition score her and would put her at 2.5-3. Her ribs show a little when she's moving but not when she's standing still and definitely wouldn't show in a photo.

I have had two tbs one full, one x although tbx shows more tb tendencies .The full tb looked his best at 540 and the tbx at 530 both are 16 h.
 
bit of a crap way to find out but our poor little disaster of a tb who was about 15.3 and in rather poor condition - no more than 2 - weighed in at 480kg according to the knacker-man's invoice

mine weighs prety much the same and he is not underweight at all just very slight, he is 15.3
 
My TB mare is around 15.3hh wears 6ft and is 480kg -she is well covered!

My 16.3hh TB gelding was 495kg when I bought him and 6ft rugs fitted him he was so tucked up. Sold him last month weighing 575kg wearing 6ft3/6ft6 rugs and he was in good condition.
