Have you ever found yourself needing a rough approximation of the weight of a horse? Probably not. It’s an extremely specialist area that doesn’t really crossover with the Google Android specialist area.
We’d magine that if you ever DID need to know the weight of your horse, you’d need a precise figure rather than a rough estimate guessed at by your phone. But we are not veterinarians, so please don’t take that advice seriously if you’re in an equine emergency.
Full details of Estimate Horse Weight can be found over at AppBrain, if you have concerns that your horse could be borderline obese.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ March 12, 2010Wow… Talk about a niche market! Perhaps our good friend Michael Quach will publish a ‘Horse Tips’ app to integrate with this fine piece of work!

This niche can be mined much further.

/ May 24, 2010I downloaded this when I was bored and decided to test it out while I was out and about on the farm and the results are actually pretty accurate.
You’re right it is pretty niche, but as someone who loves my apps and also has a number of horses – I am sure I can find an excuse to whip this out and impress my friends.

/ May 24, 2010Your horse-related web address makes me slightly suspicious of your motives, Paul, but I’ll let the link stand. I know how much links mean to some people.

/ July 18, 2010This app is far from “rubbish.” I tested it against other calculators and formulas, and it comes out with the exact same answer. Why? Because it uses the same formula! This is a great app, I use it for deworming time with my 9 horses.

/ July 29, 2010I would love more equine apps! Maybe dressage arena exercises, jumping exercises, training/workout tracker, eventing timer… How about using the camera to evaluate conformation? Hooves?
Many people weigh horses using just a tape around the middle and a formula, it’s not like people have giant horse-sized scales handy.
