HORSE & PONY HEIGHT & WEIGHT TAPE MEASURE

• Specifically designed to allow you to weigh your horse by simply wrapping the tape around the girth of the horse.
• The weigh tape is a valuable tool for objectively calculating and monitoring your horses weight.
• Placed over the lowest point of the withers, passing around the horse as close to the elbow as possible.
• The tape should be pulled firmly around the horse but not so that it dents the flesh.
• The tape will be on a slight diagonal angle when in the correct position.
• Do not place the tape as you would a girth.

To help make the reading as accurate as possible - have your horse stood square on a flat surface. If your horse is initially tense, wait until he relaxes before taking a measurement. It can help to have someone with you to reassure the horse if he is nervous and to ensure is in the correct position on both sides of the horse and that it is free from kinks and twists.
