Horse Calculators

Equine calculators: weight (heart girth method), pregnancy (340-day), feed, dewormer and hay.

About horses in the United States

There are approximately 6.6 million horses in the United States, including leisure horses, working horses, sport horses and pasture pets. Horse care involves very different math than dog or cat care β€” pregnancy is ~340 days, daily feed is 2% of body weight (so 20+ lb for adults), and equipment sizing (bit, blanket, saddle) requires precise measurements.

What horse tools do most owners need?

Weight calculator (for deworming and feed math β€” vital since horses are rarely weighed), hay calculator (winter planning), pregnancy calculator (breed-adjusted gestation), and equipment sizing (bit, blanket).

Horse calculator FAQ

How do you weigh a horse without a scale?

Heart-girth Γ— body-length formula: weight (lb) = (HGΒ² Γ— BL) / 330 for adults. Accuracy Β±5–10%. Weight tape less accurate but faster. Details in our Horse Weight Calculator.

How long is a horse pregnant?

340 days average for the common breeds (range 320–370). Thoroughbreds slightly shorter, drafts slightly longer. See our Horse Pregnancy Calculator.

How accurate are these calculator results?

Our calculators implement the exact formulas used in veterinary textbooks, AAFCO/NRC nutrition standards, AAHA/AAFP life-stage guidelines, and peer-reviewed research. Results are accurate within the precision of the input data. For medical decisions (toxicity, drug dosing, diabetic insulin), always confirm with your veterinarian β€” calculators are educational tools, not clinical devices.
