In this video I’m showing you one of the easiest (and most budget-friendly) ways to estimate your horse’s weight: a simple weight tape. Knowing your horse’s weight matters way more than people think, because it affects how you calculate feeding rates and medication dosages. You don’t need a fancy scale to get a useful number—you just need a weight tape and a minute of your time. I walk you through how to use the tape and why it’s such a handy tool to keep in your barn kit. This is the kind of “small thing” that makes a big difference in horse management—especially if you’re trying to be smart with your budget and still do right by your horse. If you don’t already have a weight tape, this is one of those inexpensive basics I really think is worth having on hand.
