Ciao Mark S. 

Small side footnote ...

I notice that horse calculations tack on 50lbs.


 Its true that in guesstimating horse weight from tape measures in actual 
stables there is a kind of rule-of-thumb to "add on a few pounds" the 
larger and older the horse is. The downside is that if you make that 
rule-of-thumb into a codification in computer calculations its starts 
drifting off from guesstimate to stab-in-the-dark. I don't think that 
formula would well for tiny Shetland Ponies, for instance. But mostly its 
in the ballpark.
