Best Answer

The average horse carries 60% of its weight on its front legs, and 40% on its rear. So, if a horse weighs 1000 lbs, then each of the front legs bears 300 lbs, and each of the rear 200 lbs.

A horse bears 60% of it's body-weight on it's forelimbs, due to the skeletal and bone structure of their bodies.
