I don't always believe the weight tape. If I weigh my 14.2hh mare
before and after a workout, she can lose 50 pounds after the
exercise. She always weighs more before a workout. Last week I
weighed her and she was 1128 pounds--I was mortified, but this week
she was back down to 1078, her normal weight. I figure if I can feel
the ribs, she's OK, especially in the winter. I don't think it's a
good idea to put them on a diet during cold weather, as I think it
makes them very anxious. Unless the horse is, as the MDs call it,
"morbidly obese."
