A horses weight will vary greatly but to find your horses current weight you'll need a piece of paper a pencil and a seamstresses tape measure. Measure your horses length from point of shoulder to point of buttock and write this number down. Now wrap the tape around the horses heart girth and write that number down. Finally do a simple math equation to find the current weight. Girth x Girth X length divide by 330= current weight. No asses the horse and see if he looks under or overweight and you can go from there.

How do you walk a horse?
Well, if your horse is trained, you should be able to just squeeze with your lower leg, and your horse should go. If you are referring to walking a horse in hand, then you should stand by the horses should with the lead rope in your hand. Make sure that the lead is NOT wrapped around your hand, because if your horse spooks, it could drag you with it. Move your hand forward, pulling the lead rope forward as well. When the horse begins to walk, lessen the pressure on the lead so that you are barely pushing it forward any more. Making sure that you are keeping pace with your horse. If the horse is well trained, it may not move if you are too far in front of behind the shoulder. Always be careful that you are not standing in front of the horse as well. If you stand directly in front of the horse and it spooks it could very well run you over.
