A method for obtaining the weight of an equine in which the handler places both equine forefeet, or one forefoot with the handler supporting the other, onto a permanently installed or portable scale which is designed and calibrated to measure the weight bearing on it and indicate to the handler a total equine weight which the scale derives through division of the measured weight by the predetermined percentage of the total family equine weight carried on the forefeet. This percentage factor can be set into the scale as a fixed factor or as an adjustable factor.
