How heavy a horse is depends on their age, breed, height, fitness, type of work it does, how much their fed and many other things.
For example, my 5 year old thoroughbred mare is 15.2hh and quite fit. She used to be an race horse but is now used for Pony Club (jumping and dressage)
She weighs about 458 kilograms but we reckon she should weigh about 500 kilograms so at the moment we're feeding her extra.
My pony is 15, new forest x mare, 14hh and really unfit. She should weigh about 400 kilograms but she currently weighs about 500 kilograms.
Obviously a shetland pony would weigh quite a lot less than a shire, it depends.
It is not known for sure if the Trojan horse existed at all, in all probablity it was only a story.
If the Trojan Horse did exist, it is not know how large it was. All that is known is that it held several men inside it. Just how many that "several" was is unknown.
One or two tons is probably a reasonable minimum guess.
Well it mostly depends on what kind of breeds! There are three species of horses. Ponies, Light Horse, Heavy Horse. Here are some examples of these three species! Names of pony breeds are Shetland, Fallabella, Australian pony. Some Light Horse breeds are the most common Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred, Friesian. And some heavy horse breeds are Clydesdale, Shire, Percheron.

Camels are one of the animals that can carry heavy loads. Other animals that can carry heavy loads are elephants, mules, oxen, and horses.
I say that horses are the most useful because they can pull heavy objects, they can carry things (including people) and although they eat a lot and stuff, they are very helpful. Horses are also helpful cuz they provide companionship to lonely people and plus they are very intelligent and they are my fav. animal! -----Well, how about cows? Oxen can pull heavy things, they can carry people, and additionally they provide meat and milk.
Shire horses are certainly heavy horses.

No..They are draft horses, bred for pulling heavy loads.
Most draft horses can pull heavy loads. Clydesdales, Belgiums, Percherons, Shires etc are draft horses.
Horses were important to knights. In fact special heavy horses were bred for them.
Of course! Horses live anywhere in the world, or can. I hear that the horses are more heavy and like the draft breed up there.

Draft horses are called so because they were originally bred and used for tasks that required pulling heavy loads, or "drafting." They are known for their strength and ability to work for long hours pulling heavy equipment or hauling heavy loads. The term "draft" comes from the Old English word "dragan," meaning "to draw or pull."
Too little to count...
Until the advent of tractors in the late 19 th century, horses were the only means of pulling ploughs or heavy wagons in agriculture.
