 So if 8 inches is correct for a 1000 pound horse then for a 1150 pound horse
 you would need about 8.6   instead of the 9.2 which would be the estimate if
 you took the proportianl change in the circumference in instead of the cross

Ah, Truman, the mathematician!  There's the sort of formula I was looking for 
when I said this doesn't "work" when you get too far out from "riding horse" 
size...
