How can I get a ruff estimate on my horses weight?

He is 16.3hh irish draught he is 22 years old and is a 7ft rug.

Thank you in advance.

Use a horse weigh tape or if you haven't got one you can use a normal one, the BHS do a good guide on ways to weigh a horse http://www.bhs.org.uk/~/media/BHS/Files/PDF Documents/How to weigh your horse.ashx

Thank you, I found a formula once but it was really confusing and came out completely wrong. This one looks a lot more simpler! Thank you
