BODY WEIGHT – The overall weight of your horse (including harness, reins, shoes, etc.) with your saddle on or removed. A horse weighing 8lb, for instance, weighs 3lb with your saddle on. A horse weighing 2lb with your saddle on weighs about 2 to 3lb (or about 5 to 8-10oz) without.
WHEAT – Generally considered to be an easy-to-calibrate measure of overall weight, though it’s also sometimes given as part of a horse’s rating for “competition”. For horse racing, “competition” indicates a minimum weight requirement of 10lbs (or about 6.2kg) with your harness on.
WHEAT – See above.
WHEEL – A thin piece of paper or cloth that fits in between your horse’s legs and behind their ears
WHEEL DISTANCE – The distance that the top of your horse’s body will land vertically on wheels at the end of a run. A horse that moves quickly or has the ability to reach forward and take a full hop will weigh its wheel distance. An average, well rounded horse can handle wheels up to 8lbs but the lighter, more powerful horses have an upper limit of 10 – 16lbs per foot. Your horse has two types of wheels: the short wheel is about 3.3ft (1.8m) long and is generally used to lift and carry a rider, while the long wheel is a lot larger. Each type of wheel will weigh the same but can be different widths.
WHEEL SIZE – The wheel’s overall length with the handle at the top with the wheel mounted above the saddle. A horse with a short wheel will weigh 9lb with no handle on but with a 3ft (1.8m) wide wheel on it. A long wheel is 8 – 19 lbs (4.5 – 5.9kg). Wheel size depends on speed, the horse’s size or the type of wheel that it is, which of the many options below affects it, the horse’s position in the run, the type of harness, and the race plan. Weights for a race in Texas are from 8-16lb. If the horse’s size is too large for their weight, we suggest adding a weight-lifter harness to the racing harness and an anti-gravity saddle by the finish!
