  A horse’s weight is important to the veterinarian as well as the horse owner.

If your horse is being weighed on a regular basis, you will be able to tell if there's a problem relatively quickly. If you can weigh your horse on a regular basis, you are going to have a very much better chance of spotting anything that goes wrong which, in an extreme case, could save your horse’s life. Most good stables will arrange for you to have your horse weighed.

Even a small weight change over a short period can indicate a problem before it is full blown.
Accurate electronic weighing of larger animals removes the guesswork for administration of feed and medicine.
A horse weighing the proper amount should NOT have ribs showing.
Feeding by weight will be more cost effective way to control your expensive grain and hay consumption, resulting in less waste.
Feed requirements are based on body weight and activity, so both young and old horses should be weighed to keep current on their rate of gain or loss.
Equine scales are expensive and not everyone has access to one, so we provide the service for you ..You dont have to spend thousand of dollars.
Even if you don't have any concerns it does no harm to weigh him regularly and make a note of any fluctuations.
Weigh your horse. You can't feed your horse correctly unless you know his weight.
A well-nourished
horse will consume about 2 percent of its body weight per day on a dryweight basis. Thus, a 1,000-pound horse will require approximately 20 pounds of forage or feed per day, or almost 4 tons of dry matter yearly per horse.

Accurate electronic weighing of larger animals removes the guesswork for administration of feed and medicine.
Rations designed for horses should be based on the horse’s weight and its expected performance, i.e. racing, weekend riding, lactation, growth or maintenance.
Deworming

 

Horse owners administer wormers and hope for the best. However, this practice will not necessarily target the type of parasite your horse is harbouring. It may also be unnecessarily overexposing harmless low-levels of parasites to the medication, thereby increasing their chance of becoming resistant.

  

 

 

You should have a base weight for your horse. ..

 

 

 

I have yet to see feeding directions that say: "Feed 1 scoop for every 1,000-pounds of body weight". Feeding directions may read: "Feed 0.50 to 1.0 pound for every 100 pounds of body weight per day."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The weight of your horse is the basic guide to calculating balanced nutrition.  It is the  most important factor for sound health and good performance.

Many new, strong  expensive drugs must be administered on the basis of the animal's body weight.  To avoid the danger and waste of overdosing and the ineffectiveness of underdosing, have your horse weighed.

Universities, nationwide, serving equine-related needs, use a scale to accurately attain weight.

Doesn't it make sense to have your horse weighed, just as smaller animals are?

Don't let your horse get too fat or too thin.  Have your horse weighed at different ages, seasons of the year.  The record will be an important health guide.
