Why weigh horses

Worming
Young horses and foals need to be wormed particularly frequently. Due to their rapid growth, exact dosing is even more difficult here than with adult animals. With a horse scale you can quickly determine the weight of the horse or foal and thus avoid overdosing.

Supplementary feed
Not only the obligatory worming treatments are measured by body weight, but also supplementary feeds. The feed industry goes to great lengths to calculate the required amounts of these substances. The type and quantity of supplementary feeds are determined according to the weight and performance of the horse. (e.g. : 150 gr. / per 100 kg live weight). If too much supplementary feed is given, horses become fat and are predisposed to joint and metabolic diseases. Also changes in the psyche are often noticeable in the weight. Here, too, a regular body weight check with a horse scale can be very helpful.

Insurance coverage
Especially with the permissible total weight of horse trailers it can become borderline. The registered unladen weight of the trailer (e.g. 600 kg - 850 kg) in the papers is in the "naked" state. In addition, there are rubber mats, partition wall, bars and other accessories. Many warm-blooded horses with a height of 1.65 m and more weigh over 650 kg. Quickly the trailer load or the permissible total weight of 2000 kg is exceeded! Thus, the operating license is no longer valid and in the event of an accident, the insurance coverage expires.
