"Weighing is an essential part of Shadwell's monitoring techniques. Aberrant weights enables us to pick up potential problems before they are apparent to the naked eye, and before they become more serious. Weight loss can be the sign of the onset of viral problems, but just as important to us is controlling weight gain. If a foal picks up more than 1.5kg a day, then extra burden on its young joints can lead to development problems. Having quality tools at our disposal, such as the weighing machines that we have here, is crucial to the stud's success. "
