I can now take advantage of a horse scale (really, cow scale but same
difference!).

Any suggestions on weight gains / losses to look for while:

1. Start up conditioning. (He is 1185 pounds, 16.1 hands with a grass
belly.)

2. Maintaining the conditioned weight after rides.
What range would be the expected loss after a ride?
How soon should the weight be regained?

Thank you in advance.
