What do you class as a middleweight?

[Blizzard]

Personally I think both my boys are middleweights.

Beau has 10 and a half inches of bone and is WB x ISH:

Lance has 9 and a half inches of bone and is a Latvian WB:

However some people seem to think Beau is a lightweight, ie TB type, and that Lance is a big cob.

Tell me Im not going mad please!

What do you class as a middleweight?

I would say middle weight, howevr a lot delepd omn who they are standing next to! I alsways thought my TB x cob was light weight, she was compared top most of my friends gyspy cobs. Now we have a lightweight TB she looks like a cart horse. I love Lance BTW.
