The surest way is to haul the horse to a large animal clinic with a scale, but if that is not possible then you can do the following method, it is accurate to within 30 pounds. You'll need a flexible seamstresses tape, a pencil,paper and a calculator. Now measure around the heart girth area and write that number down. Next measure from point of shoulder to point of buttock and write that number down. Now do the following math problem. Girth x girth x length divide by 330=weight in pounds.
