Dangerous territory :D

This is risky but I really do want to know, I'm not just trying to stir trouble What does a fat pad look like?! I see them mentioned all the time but I'm not sure I'd recognise one in a well lit room. Can anyone point me to some obvious pictures? Preferably their own (horses!) so nobody gets upset about their pony being called a chubber

Oooh he's stunning! And congratulations, I wish I could lose weight like that

I can see the difference, but... Still not sure about this pad business haha!

 

[Floxie]

Does it just mean 'wobbly bits'?!

You can feel layers of fat underneath your hands when run lightly over shoulders etc. When standing back, fat pads look like well.....pads of fat

Some horses store fat more obviously than others.

My little old dartmoor carries a couple of pads of fat in the summer right over his hips like saddle bags. He's not particularly over weight. that's just the way he stores his winter 'doing'. Quite unsightly, but I stopped worrying about it years ago. He's getting on, so I'd be more worried if he didn't have them.
