Why should I weigh my horse?

Weighing a horse is essential for several reasons to ensure the animal's health and well-being. Here are some of the most important:

1. Health check:

Weight is a key indicator of a horse's health. Sudden weight gain or loss can indicate illness, stress, or feeding problems.

2. Optimization of feeding:

The correct amount of feed and supplements depends on the horse's weight. Accurate weight control helps prevent overfeeding or malnutrition.

3. Medication administration:

The dosage of medications, such as deworming treatments, depends on the horse's body weight. Dosages that are too high or too low can endanger the animal's health.

4. Training management:

A correct weight helps to optimize the training plan and prevent overloading or under-challenge.

5. Prevention of diseases:

Obesity can lead to diseases such as laminitis, joint problems, or metabolic disorders. Regular weighing helps detect and prevent such problems early.

How often should a horse be weighed?

There is no general rule as to how often a horse should be weighed, as this depends on various factors. However, the following generally applies:

  • Regular check-ups: Every 1-3 months is a good guideline to keep an eye on general health and feeding.
  • If weight changes are suspected: If the horse suddenly shows visible changes in its body or behavior, it should be weighed immediately.
  • Before administering medication: The weight should always be determined exactly before administering medication or worming treatment.
  • Young horses and seniors: Young, growing horses and older animals should be weighed more frequently, as their weight can fluctuate more.

Additional questions about weighing horses

1. Can I estimate my horse's weight?

Estimating horse weight is often inaccurate and can lead to incorrect feeding or medication decisions. A precise scale like the PW2 is essential for obtaining accurate readings.

2. How does weight affect my horse's performance?

Weight plays a crucial role in a horse's athletic performance. An overweight horse is less resilient, while an underweight horse negatively impacts muscle development and endurance.

3. Is the scale also suitable for other animals?

Yes, due to its high load capacity and robust construction, the PW2 can also be used for other livestock such as cattle, sheep, or goats. Incidentally, the scale is also ideal for weighing straw and hay bales.

4. Why buy a mobile horse scale?

A mobile horse scale like the PW2 offers flexibility and saves time. It can easily be brought directly to the animal, eliminating the stress of transport.

Conclusion – The perfect horse scale for every need

The PW2 horse scale is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a portable, precise, and robust horse scale. It not only offers comfort and safety for the animals, but also ease of use and precise readings for the owners.
