Getting horse weighed in the south - where ?

[Ruskii]

I've tried my vets and they don't have any scales for horses (primarily a small animal vets place anyway) and the horse vet in my area will charge me an extortionate amount for me to just have my horse weighed there as I'm not a customer of theirs. :stomp:

I've got little faith in the different readings that I'm getting off the weigh tape, so I just want him weighed, does anyone know of any weigh bridges used for Dept of Transport or similar that I could use in the south ?

:help:

A google search for public weighbridges brought up lots of results including http://www3.hants.gov.uk/tradingsta...ingstandards-publicweighbridges-hampshire.htm

Not sure how accurate they are with a relatively small weight, you'd have to take advice on that, it might be easier to weigh the transport with and without the horse and deduct one from the other instead. I don't think they charge much.

Thanks Yann, after I posted that I remembered about public ones and found a weigh bridge close to home and they were able to point me in the right direction.

I used to do what you have said before (weigh transport with horse then without, deduct the difference and voila - horses weight) back in Australia on a public weigh bridge.

So have managed to find a public one 10 mins drive from the stables and they'll me drive straight on, tell me the weight and wont cost a penny- superb

Now I can find out just how much the boy weighs
