That would be totally dependant on height and build!

my 3 yr ols is quite chunky and between 13.2-14hh and he's 460kg.
sounds alot but vet said he is a good weight.not to fat good for this time of year.
and as he is young his/her's weight will be up and down due to growing.
well he is about 13;3 to 14hh and he is 299kg but what would the correct weight be then

Mine is a fully grown but same height and is currently about 360kgs on the weightape, she should be about this I believe. So maybe a baby about 320 to 340? I don't know? How does he look? You could post a picture?
Eli, I think he looks great - nice and healthy Not 'show condition', which would be a bit fatter, but a good healthy weight, which is probably a little bit less strain on those young, still-developing joints

I think he looks absolutely fine, though he could get away with putting on weight without it being a problem. But if he were mine I would keep him where he is - I like my ponies on the slim side though
