How many pounds does a grown horse weigh?

Answer 1

Light riding horses such as Arabians, Morgans, or Quarter Horses usually range in height from 14 to 16 hands (56 to 64 inches, 142 to 163 cm) and can weigh from 380 to 550 kilograms (840 to 1,200 lb).[21] Larger riding horses such as Thoroughbreds, American Saddlebreds or Warmbloods usually start at about 15.2 hands (62 inches, 157 cm) and often are as tall as 17 hands (68 inches, 173 cm), weighing from 500 to 600 kilograms (1,100 to 1,300 lb).[22] Heavy or draft horses, such as the Clydesdale, Belgian, or Shire, are usually at least 16 tp 18 hands (64 to 72 inches, 163 to 183 cm) high and can weigh from about 700 to 1,000 kilograms (1,500 to 2,200 lb).[23]

Answer 2

that depends on the breed. if its a bulky horse that is a clodblood heavy horse it would weight a ton or more if its a warm blood , it could weigh anywhere from 700 to 1500 if its a hotblood purbred it weight from 500 to 1000 if its a pony it could weigh 300 to 700.

Answer 3

A large riding horse would be around 600kg (1300lb), a large draft horse would probably weigh about 1000kg (2200lb).

The weight can vary as the breed, height and 'type' (build) of horse needs to be taken into consideration. As a level 3 advanced racing stablehand, I can safely say some of the rachorses I work with would leave the writer of the above answer suprised, as a heavily-built 16.3 hand high peak fitness thoroughbred can weigh as little as 573 kilos.

Answer 4

This depends upon the breed and gender of the horse. A full-grown Arabian mare may be only 4.5 feet tall (about 14 hands) and weigh about 1000 pounds, while a full-grown Friesan (beautiful draft horse) stallion may be up to 8 feet tall at the shoulder (about 24 hands) and over 2500 pounds.
