Hey, here is a link to a website that you may find useful. I dont know how acurate it will be but it shouldnt be too far out. http://www.gaitedhorses.net/Articles/horseweight.html
or if you are good with maths there is the long way to calculate it, I used this one at college and I recon it was very good. http://www.cowboyway.com/HowTo/HorseWeight.htm

You could do a wee test and comapre both sites :D

Thanks for that well he is 555kg one way or 562 the other, so checked with vet and she says he is fine as he is a well boned sec D and im not to worry, especially as he is not rugged or fed and lives out 24/7.

Thats good then, didnt think it would be too far off.
