Horse weight tape is a great way to quickly calculate your horse's weight. It is very easy to use, easy to carry, and it is inexpensive. All you need to do is get one of the horse weight tapes that you can find online. Now, many of these are in the form of little paper weights that you can put on your backpacks or purses, but I like the electronic ones better. One drawback to them is that you can't take them with you, but they last for a very long time before they need to be replaced.
These tape measures weigh about half an ounce each. They measure up from a very accurate, square spot on the horse, so if you are looking at the lower hoof, you are looking at the lower hoof. The highest foot, when measured, is the highest foot. So if you have a trainer who has a horse that you are working, the trainer will want to know the horse's girth by where you put the tape measure on the horse. This is very easy to do. You just measure from the end of the horse's leg all the way up to the eye. You then match the measurement with the right spot on the horse and make a note of it.
You can also use the tape measure as a gauge to tell you how much the horse weighs. It is just like having a scale on your back, except you aren't holding anything to move. So all you have to do is put the tape measure on the horse and mark a mark on the horse's side at a precise spot. Then you just move the tape measure back and forth, you won't be able to get the full weight off the horse, but it is a good idea to try. Horse weight tape is a simple and effective tool for working out your horse's weight.
