What this sheet is for

Track weight and condition across a year so seasonal gain is caught in spring rather than discovered in summer.

Who it is for

Owners, yards and anyone managing a good-doer or a horse on a weight plan.

How to use it

  1. Use one method — tape or weighbridge — and say which at the top.
  2. Name the condition scale you are scoring on.
  3. Record work level and grazing alongside; they explain the number.
  4. Measure at the same time of day and the same point in the week.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: Weight tape or weighbridge readings over the year, with condition scored on the scale you use.

One method, one scale, written at the top. No target weight and no condition scale is printed. Equine condition scoring runs on more than one scale, and the right weight for a horse depends on its type, height and work. Write down which scale and which method you use, then keep to it — a record made half by tape and half by eye is not a trend.

Write-on lines: Horse · Type and height · Method and scale used · Year

Table, 13 rows: Date · Weight · Condition score · Crest score, if used · Work level · Grazing and feed · Rugs · Notes

Questions

What should my horse weigh?

No target is printed. It depends on type, height, build and work, and a number from a website is a poor guide for an individual animal. The trend in your own horse, and your vet's opinion, are what matter.

Which condition scoring scale should I use?

More than one is in common use and they do not map onto each other. Pick the one your vet uses, write it at the top, and never mix the two on one sheet.
