Quick question? Weight tape needed

[Ashleigh_]

He weighed 589kgs/1298lbs the other month and im wondering if you can tell me what his girth size would be, or at least his heart girth measurement so i can work out the rest

He's a chunky cob so i cant use conversion chart it will be a little off!


thankyou x

My chunky cob is 14.2 hh, 450 kilos, and 44 " girth, which is probably no help at all...

We got there by borrowing girths, and also by measuring from girth strap to girth strap. About 18 times, with a different measurement each time. Hmmm. So he will NOT put on or lose any weight ever again..

put saddle n and get tape measure and measure from girth strap under belly t girth strap then you may have an idea of what size girth in inches

To be able to work out his heart girth you would need to know his length too! the equation for bodyweight kg = (girth(squared) x length) / 11877.

So you would need his length in order to work the equation backwards. Ha sorry...nutrition student here

Or on my weight tape it says if he was 589kg, then his heart girth would be 204cm. Not sure about that though...I've just been reading journals about how inaccurate they are
