Do greys look fatter than other colours?

[LeneHorse]

My horse is a good doer and I'm afraid to say looks a bit on the podgy side at the moment, but I am convinced she looks worse because she is grey - a bit like your bum looking much bigger when you were white trousers! Does anyone else believe in this theory?
(and before anyone starts lecturing me, I am well aware of the dangers of overweight horses and am trying to manage her feeding and turnout accordingly).

Pass on that one all I know is banner is also porky atm and I CANNOT leave him out as he is so overweight (again is on little feed, hard work etc etc) But this is my 4th year with him and he ALWAYS bloats up in the summer (we're not even on the summer paddocks yet *gulp*)

From my two horses, I would personally say that grey looks thinner - sorry! And no lectures from me, some horses are just such good doers they look podgy on nothing.

another whos horse is podgy on nothing!

Not sure about the colours - remember my little welsh ponies who were all grey looked huge but they were podgy! my mare always looked thinner being a white/grey though!
