Are modern competition horses too fat?

[Megibo]

Many low level horses are yes, waayy too fat, but i don't think the top ones are and specially not SJ/Eventers. Just my opinion

TBH I can't remember the last time I saw a thin horse at a competition.
Horses with incorrect muscle development yes thin no .
Lean horses of course if you go horse trails you will see lean horses and so you should .

I've seen some proper hat racks . . . and I do know the difference between lean/competition fit (which describes my boy) and thin.

Certainly where I hang out we don't see hat racks .

I don't think dressage horses are too fat, however I would prefer to see them slimmer!
