I'm going out to the farm tomorrow and will be worming all of my horses. But two of them are foals and I need help estimating their weight for dosing the medication. I've included photos of both below and I know they're not the best, but hopefully they're better than nothing.
Anyhow, Cosmo is an eight-month-old colt. He's half Paso Fino and half unknown, but not Paso. He stands approx. 12 HH, but being young his back is still shorter than an adult 12 HH horse.
Dory is my half Paso Fino half Peruvian Paso filly. She turned one month old yesterday. The photo of her is at one week next to her 13 HH mother. Yeah, I know the shot is bad, but it's the only one I have that kind of shows a comparison in size. She's bigger than the photo now of course, but she's a little girl for sure. My guess is that in the photo she's around 60 lbs. so probably 80 lbs. now. Does that sound like a reasonable estimate?
