Condition score these two please..

[Honey08]

I've never done the scale scoring, and wondered where you would place these two if you do?

I think of them on the fat side of ok. Interested to hear what "scorers" say. Thanks.

Not a scorer per se but i would put them at a mid to high end 3. Could do with more topline especially neck of chestnut but condition wise quite good.

 

[Honey08]

Thanks. Is that on a 5 point scale? Is 2.5 what we're aiming for?

 

[be positive]

They could both do with a little less tummy and a bit more topline but what is interesting is that they are both so similar in condition, same rider?

No, same owners, same feed and routines. Both reasonably unfit. I sometimes ride both, chestnut is hubby and stepson's and has a sharer, so usually I don't ride him. Both work well, the bay is more advanced in her schooling, the chestnut works more naturally. Both live off fresh air and were a lot fatter last year. They get a balancer and chaff plus hay/grass. Usually have muzzles in summer and come in during the day, but we have had sheep eat the fields down, so they have managed without muzzles so far this spring (although this could be coincidence - grass is only just through this year).
