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.
