Does this pony look overweight?????

[brighteyes]

Guilty as charged, but no mention made of fact pony is an entire 3 yo worked 5x a week!!!! Also second pic makes him look leaner.

Don't worry it just upset me at the time, don't worry about it, whats been said has been said its in the past

Thanks everyone x

I would say a tad but not any thing life risking!

It is hard with the curvy pony

The best test (rule of the thumb of course) is if you can feel his ribs- if you can then hes should be fine.

Hes a right stunner though!

IS THAT THE ONE THATS FOR SALE ON DRAGON DRIVING ????????

 

[MillionDollar]

Yeh your right, he was entire until he was 3, he is 5.

And yes he's the one for sale.

 

[clipertyplop]

i think he looks lovely ive admired him for a while looks a fun little pony wish i could affored him

 

[MillionDollar]

Oh thank you, yeh he is very fun, but he will also go along way in the right hands, i've had a lot of interest for him, but not from the right sort of people- just from complete novices who want to plod around (no offence to anyone thats all i do, lol), its just he needs to go to a comp home.

Not fat but chunky, in my opinion.

 

[tashyisaudrey]

aww I think he looks sweet . I think he looks chunky yes, but fit.

 

[Skhosu]

TBH.. I would have said yes. BUt I'm used to looking at eventers and showjumpers so... I don't know.
If he is fit and can feel his ribs etc. he's fine!

I know exactly what you mean TSH. My initial reaction to the photo was yes the pony is over weight....however then when I thought of my little Cloud who is not and never has been fat, I considered again how differently structured little ponies are compared to larger ones.

I dont think he should be any fatter but dont think he overweight really for his type - and if you say he's thick and hairy that could be decieving.

My pony is quite fit and even when i reduced her grazing and was riding her for min 1 hr everyday...still had a big old belly on her but was fitter than most!
