Estimate an adult horse's weight with a tape measure.

The math behind it

weight (lb) = heart girth² × body length ÷ 330 (girth around the barzel; length from point of shoulder to point of buttock).

72 in girth, 66 in length → ~1,037 lb.

Ponies/foals?

Use 299 instead of 330 for ponies; foals use different formulas.
