对372匹不同品种、身高和脂肪的马进行了称重，并测量了马肩隆的高度。他们进行了评估的条件评分适应以前发表的方法。还测量了281匹马的胸围和身长。马的体重与身高（r2=0.62）、状况评分（r2 = 0.22）和围长（2x）高度相关（P < 0.001）。长度（r2=0.90）。构建诺模图，以预测身高和条件评分，腰围和长度测量的重量。重量也可以由公式精确地估计：-重量（kg）=周长2 ×长度（cm）/[Y]。在这个实验中，Y的平均值是11900，这个估计的重量比以前公布的Y值更准确。比赛纯种马被发现显着轻于非比赛纯种马相同的高度和条件评分。条件评分的评估方法在具有不同经验程度的不同操作员之间具有可重复性。
Three hundred and seventy two horses of varying breeds, height and fatness were weighed and measured for height at the withers. They were assessed for condition score by adaptation of a previously published method. The heart girth and length of 281 of the horses were also measured. Weight of horses was highly correlated(P < 0.001) with height (r2=0.62), condition score (r2=0.22) and girth2 .times. length (r2=0.90). Nomograms were constructed to predict weight from height and condition score, and girth and length measurements. Weight can also be accurately estimated from the formula:- Weight (kg) = girth2 .times. length (cm)/[Y]. The average value of ''Y'' in this experiment was 11900 and this estimated weight with more accuracy than some previously published values of ''Y''. Racing Thoroughbred horses were found to be significantly lighter than non-racing Thoroughbreds of the same height and condition score. The method of assessment of condition score was shown to be repeatable between different operators with varying degrees of experience.
