How much does Miss Morrell's horse weigh?

While Miss Morrell was at Nationals last week, two of her horses got weighed. Today we got to guess their weights. Our guesses ranged from 51kg (which Miss Morrell pointed out was less than herself) to 1000kg. Eloise and Danielle had the closest guesses.
Mickey weighs 544kg
Cookie weighs 532kg
