I just took my Fjord to the vet and he has a scale to weigh cattle and
horses. Aron weights 965 using a weight tape and 1054 when weighed on the
scale. So I figure he weighs almost a 100 lbs more than what the weight tape
measures. I don't

What Connie says made sense, using the tape measures to tell if a horse
is gaining or loosing weight. On our Morgan gelding, who is prone to fat,

Jerry, I feed this when the temps are averaging -20F to -30F, not all the
time! Obviously, you wouldn't feed that much in California? Yet you said
