a number on paper won't actually tell you anything about the horse. there is no ideal weight...it's not like supermodels where they all have to be a size 0.

I do agree about sometimes a horse looking heavy or soft...and that CAN make a difference because it is an indicator of fitness...but I don't see how weight is.
