EquiScale makes an estimate value of the horses weight based on two basic measures:

Heart Girth
Measured around the horse’s girth, by placing the tape immediately behind the elbow and withers


Body Length
Measured from the point of the shoulder, straight along horse’s side, to the point of the buttock (tuber ischii)

Knowing the weight of a horse is very useful when we must give a medication or a supplement.
In addition, estimating regularly the weight helps to verify the horses physical conditions and, in case, correct alimentary problems
