How heavy a horse is depends on their age, breed, height, fitness, type of work it does, how much their fed and many other things.
For example, my 5 year old thoroughbred mare is 15.2hh and quite fit. She used to be an race horse but is now used for Pony Club (jumping and dressage)
She weighs about 458 kilograms but we reckon she should weigh about 500 kilograms so at the moment we're feeding her extra.
My pony is 15, new forest x mare, 14hh and really unfit. She should weigh about 400 kilograms but she currently weighs about 500 kilograms.
Obviously a shetland pony would weigh quite a lot less than a shire, it depends.
