The weights carried by horses during races or competitions are commonly referred to as "handicaps" or "weight penalties." These weights can be assigned based on the horse's abilities, age, or previous performance to ensure a level playing field among competitors. In some contexts, the term "saddle weight" may also be used to refer to the combined weight of the rider and any additional gear.
