Meet the Weighbridge
Wanderers
Staff at Sellors Ltd in Calverton,
Notts were up bright and early
on Sunday 11th August to help
two local yards tackle a very
weighty subject. Exactly how
much does your horse weigh?

throughout the day a couple of
bets had been made in regards to
how much the owners thought
their horses weighed, most had
underestimated some by as much
as 100kg!

Armed with the latest
technology in weighbridges and
manufacturer representatives &
nutritionists Rachel Sainsbury
of Dodson & Horrell and Davina
Godwin of Virbac Animal Health,
the team paid visits to Rachel
Flintoff’s Bestwood Village-based
yard and Paul Tomlinson’s yard at
Woodborough.

Claire Sellors, store manager
explained “Whilst weigh tapes
serve a purpose they are not
100% accurate. When tackling
weight issues obtaining the
horse’s correct weight is
essential. Our yard visits
are therefore an excellent
opportunity, not only to see
how heavy your horse is but
also to pick up some first class
nutritional and worming advice,
allowing customers to feed and
worm their horses precisely and
with confidence.”

The team are on a mission to
provide a straight-forward, clear,
easy way for horse-owners to
get an accurate weight of their
horse to help monitor weight
gain or loss, establish correct feed
regimes and to assist in providing
accurate dosage of wormer
products.
Horses were stood on the
platform and once their
weight had been recorded,
they were handed over to
Rachel Sainsbury, nutritionist
of Dodson & Horrell to be
scored on condition and
offered advice on the horse’s
nutritional requirements and
receive a complimentary
goody bag.
