Re: [RC] [RC] cannon measurements - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== [RC] cannon measurements - Amber B Fort -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just curious as to what is considered good bone size on a horse. I saw the cannon mesurements in a stallion ad somewhere and it piqued my interest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "standard" is generally considered to be 8" per 1000lbs of body weight. There are some that consider 7" per 1000lbs to be perfectly adequate as well. (I prefer the 8"/1000lbs myself.) Keep in mind that most Arabians are shy of that 1000lbs, so 7-8" is usually enough for them, although some of us do have individuals with 8"+. Also keep in mind that because it's circumfrence, the math is nice and complicated to get exact numbers for weights other than 1000lbs. ;-) ~Nicole ============================================================ By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest. ~ Confucius ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
