Horse Weight Tape Measure Horse and Pony Height/Weight Tape - Weight in Kilograms/Pounds & Height in Hands/Centimeters (White)

Description

Horse weight tape is a thick, durable, vinyl coated fiberglass tape that accurately estimates the pony’s or horse’s weight in both pounds and kilograms and height in hands and centimeters. Monitoring weight targets: Every farmer should have a weight measuring tape so that heifers can easily be measured and managed. It is a very simple operation to carry out and should be done every few months or when heifers are brought in for handling i.e. dosing, TB testing or vaccinations. Weights should be recorded and comparisons made against targets. How to measure Time to pull out the measuring tape! Most blankets are measured in inches, with average horse sizes ranging from 69-84’’. To find your horse’s size, start at the center of your horse’s chest and run a cloth tape measure down his side to the point of the buttocks (where the ‘cheek’ meets the tail). Include the widest part of his shoulder and keep the measuring tape level and taut. This will be your horses true size (note: some blanket brands run a little large or small. SWEET TIPS: When using a weigh tape, position the tape according to the manufacturer’s directions. A flexible measuring tape is preferred. Be calm, don’t rush in. Make sure the animal is comfortable with the measuring tape. Measuring range: 24 hands / 242cm and 634kg / 1398 pounds
