How Can I Calculate my Horses Weight?
The calculation of your horse's weight is important in order to calculate their workload.
To measure the weight of your horse, several ways are possible.
1. Via the Calories Map of the Week
This card appears automatically in the "Sessions" tab from the moment a Motion S is paired with your account. If you have a Motion, this map will not appear.
If it is displayed, click on "Estimate Weight". You will then have the choice to enter the weight manually (if you already know it), or to estimate it, for which you will need the measuring tape that provided together with your Motion S.
If you choose to estimate the weight, then you will need to measure the thoracic perimeter. Make sure that the horse is standing on a leveled ground. Measure the chest perimeter by placing the measuring tape vertically above the girth passage.
Measure the height at withers :

- Click on "View profile" under the name of the horse
- Go to the "Parameters" tap on the right
- Click on "Weight"
