Well the most accurate way is to use a veterinarians scale. But if you don't have access to a scale you can do a simple math equation to get the numbers. Using a flexible seamstress tape measure from the center of the horses chest to the center of it's tail. Then measure the horses barrel. Once you have the numbers you do the following equation... Girth X Girth X length divide by 300. This will give you the weight in pounds.
