Interested in the weight of other peoples horses.

I weighed Ellie and Daisy the other day and they are both bang on 540kg. Ellie is 16.2 ID x TB and elderly and underweight. Daisy is 15hh and an Irish Cob. She is just about perfect weight – can’t see her ribs but can feel them.

Please could you post weight, height and breed of your horses for comparison?
 
Doug is a tiny bit under 500kg

He has been out on lush grass for 3 weeks with no exercise and has came back a porky pig so is in need of a serious weight loss plan! I had him at 450kg when I rode him everyday, when I first had him he was 575kg! He is a 13.3hh welsh x nf

Did you do them on a weighing stall, or by tape?

Weigth according to a weighing tape- 540 kilos
Weight on a veterinary weighing stall 650 kilos
15hand HW Cob
 
My 16 hh tb x id has come down from 530 kg to 505 kg whilst on restricted grazing. I'd like her to settle at about 515 kg.
 
15.3 Appy mare currently weighing in at 536kg, needs to loose 36kg.

IDx 16.3 548kg, so about right

cob 14.3 438 kg, a little light but needs to keep weight off for elderly joints.

All by taape, so we use it to compare like with like over time

T is the 14.2 traditional coloured cob in my sig

He is roughly 450-5kg at the moment. He went down to 445kg in winter but was up to around 480kg last summer as he had a couple of months off harder work due to me being in hospital and my recovering from it.
 
My 16hh TB is 511kg - and I think he looks a little underweight but he is definitley bigger than when i bought him in March 09.
 
15hh cob, 500 ish on a weigh tape but she is very deep barrelled, I suspect less on scales. She is super fit at the moment, you can even see the odd rib when she works.
 
17hh ISH and 643kg on a weighbridge

I've only ever used a weigh tape on my horse but he's usually around 515-518kg in summer dropping to around 500kg in winter.
I know the tape isn't accurate but I use it regularly to monitor his condition.

He's a 15.2hh British Sporthorse (fairly solidly built) and a good doer- the worst he's been was 530kg the first summer I had him when I didn't realise just what a good doer he is!

Lady (a 13.2hh Welsh B x Arab) - 323kg. She's just about perfect.
Fudge (14.3hh hw, Welsh Cob) - 495kg. He's out of work and overweight despite being on restricted grazing, I'd like him to be 450/470kg.
 
My 15.1hh Anglo-arab was 440kg last time I weight taped him

My 15.3hh dutch warmblood was about 475. Both tend to be between lean and about right (they are both fairly fit).
 
eeeerrr if you want fat we weigh taped my cob for a research projectat uni and it didnt meet so we got him on th eweigh bridge and with a thermatex, headcoller and shoes on he was 702 kg but he was 16hh with 10 + inches bone. I felt very slim stood beside him xxx
 
TB x ID (more TB),16hh..approx 525kg...could be more

Hairy chunky Cobbie, 15hh...no idea but would guess approx 600kg...overweight
