This new model weighs only 59kgs (130.0 lbs) and comes with its own pair of carrying handles, which are quickly detachable, so that it can easily be moved around the yard to the most convenient places, from foaling barn to training yard.
The platform surface is the same high quality astro turf (artificial grass) as that which is used on the top of the range Goodwood model, giving a very quiet weighing environment for the horse.
The Ludlow comes with the same electronics that all the other models from Horse Weigh have, so that the read- out unit may be hand held or wall mounted.
The Ludlow model will be officially launched at the British Equine Veterinary Association, (BEVA) conference which this year is going to be held in Birmingham, U.K. at the International Conference Centre, 8th – 10th September 2016.
This model has been tested at the well-known Fyrnwy Equine Clinic at their headquarters in Baschurch, Shropshire, U.K. Jim Tipp, BVSc., MRCVS., senior partner, says “all in-patients have been weighed on this model. It has been easy to use and accurate.”
