Well apparently you can use a weigh tape & some basic maths for this one, get your horse's weight in pounds (not kilos like I did!) divide it by six then divide by fourteen. This is the total weight in stones incl tack that the horse can carry. Incidently, anyone know how many pounds to a kilo?? Still haven't worked mine out!!

Well the P2P horses I worked with carried 12 stone over 3miles. I've worked mine out with the weigh tape and it comes to about 11 stone but she is a quite stocky Irish TB (who doesn't like her piccy took by the looks of the above!!)
