Bone Measurement

[dcp]

I measured Charlie's leg bone yesterday it's just over 8 inches. So his nick name skinny little TB legs suits him quite well :rolleyes:

Anyone else measured thier horses legs? If you have ahorse that has skinny legs like mine do you do anything to take extra care? I was always told it's easier for TB's to break legs

tbs actually have very dense bone. my idxtb has 8 1/2 inches of bone, i reckon my x racer has about the same.
my section a has 7 1/2 inches of bone and my hw cob has 11 inches of bone. i havent measured my section d yet but i think shes prob got about 8-9 inches:)

That's funny, I measured my mare's bone on Tuesday for the first time (I've only owned her four years hee hee). She's a 15.1 cob/connemara with 9.5 inches of bone, does anyone know what maximum weight she could carry - I'm guessing about 13 or 14 stone? I don't weigh this much, I hasten to add!!! :o
