Would everyone with a Welsh B post mind posting its height and weight please?
Trying to get an idea of the spectrum or Welsh B BMI!
Mine is 13hh at withers 13.2hh at croup and weighs 380kg, been told ideal weight should be 350kg. Wondering if 350kg is actually a sensible target.. as this is surely dependant on build, bone etc.. Mine pretty broad through the rib cage and back (xxw/xw fitting to the muscle not fat) with no hard crest or gutter.
Thank you all!
 
My gelding is also 13hh, although he's very fine and dainty. I've never had him on a weigh bridge, but the weigh tape put him at around 300kg. Based on your 350kg figure that sounds really low, but he's nicely covered. I've included a couple of pictures to give an idea of how he looks. We are very obsessive about him staying slim though as he's a cushings pony who has previously had bouts of laminitis.
