Hi..My Welsh Section C weighed in tonight at 350kg and I wondered how that compared to other peoples ponies? He's always been a stocky gelding and has a very wide chest so will never be stick thin but it would be nice to know what other sections C's are like? I know I have to keep it down with spring coming but work starts again the end of this month after winter off so were tip top for the jumping season

13HH ish 5 year old sectionC NOT overweight, 363kg, 14.1hh welsh D proper old fashioned cob, not the fashionable light of bone type 510kg 14hh cob 480kg.
 
Wow thanx guys for the responses...it's good to know everyones on the same track with weights. All my pony has had this year is Healthy Hoof and he seems to be doin OK

our stables has my 13.2 sec c, a 15.2 IDx, a 15.1 retired l/w TB and a 16.2 TB. It gets interesting when it's dinner time - wot the TB's leave the welsh's are always happy to try and steal

15.3hh idxtb 475kgon a weigh tape - you can feel her ribs so she about right - was advised by d and h nutritionlist 475-480kg
 
Cleanboots2 - 800kg for a 15.3? I have a 15.3 cob x and he was weighed on the vets scales at 583kg. I got a slapped wrist and instructions that he had to lose at least 50kg! He's now down to 530kg and he's still got plenty of meat on him. 800kg sounds humungus!
 
I was just about to say that! 800kg???!!! :eek:

I have a very good eye for weights and can usually guess within 20kg in real life. And even a large fit well muscled clydedale rarely weights more that 800kg!!! 800kg for a 15.3HH cob is enourmous. Kalli, 16.3hh of HW hunter with an incredibly deep chest only weights 650kg. My old 15.3hh cob (middle to HW weight type) weighted 560kg when fit.

My 14.1ish scrawny baby cob (big hay belly, not much else) weights 403kg (I guessed 400kg

). 350kg for a welsh C sounds about right, maybe a little plump, depending on his size and build.
 
16.3/17hh TB is approx 510 kg - last week, we weigh tape him every week as he's tough to keep weight on and looking well - vet said he'd ideally have a little more on than this but to look at he has a nice covering so we're just keeping on with it...

800kgs?! that sounds like a huge amount...

He is a shire actually, fit as a fiddle, goes hunting but he is a full up Clydesdale.
Not overweight at all. x
