Ultium recommends a MAX of 15lbs for a 1500lb horse in INTENSE work. 
There is a leeway of +/- 10%/15% so one could go as high as 17.25lbs 
for a 1500lb horse in INTENSE work. Like a horse training for the Tevis 
or the Rolex or Derby.  But 1500lbs is a pretty big horse...I doubt 
many endurance horses weigh that much. I had a 17hh WB who didn't weigh 
1500lbs.
