EquiCalc

       iOS iPhone

It's useful to know how much your horse weighs when calculating food rations and dosages of dewormers and medications.

Using a livestock scale is the best way to find out the weight of your horse. If it is not practical to find such a scale, this calculator will estimate your horses weight based on two measurements, the heart girth and the horses length. This calculator provides a general idea of a horse’s weight.

The formula used to estimate weight in this calculator is ((heart girth inches x heart girth inches x body length inches)/320=estimated body weight in pounds for a horse. For a yearling, divide by 300. For a foal, divide by 280. We have arrived at this formula by testing the results against the nomogram developed by C. L. Carroll and P. J. Huntington.

To use this horse utility application you will need a regular tape measure and someone to help hold the horse still as you take the measurements. Make sure the horse is standing on level ground and is relaxed.
