Fat show horses

Hi,
Just to redress the balance....

I was at a show at the weekend....and the fatties were all down the bottom...and us fit, well muscled cobs were all at the top....Well done judge

How do you know they had health problems?

Maybe they didn't, but obesity predisposes an animal to various illnesses. I think tat is what LB was getting at, and quite rightly so!

Now why did I have to explain that? Surely there is enough information out there on this subject already?

I'm often amazed at pictures of heavyweight show hunters.....some of them have chests so wobbly they look like they have boobs and resemble sofas with legs. They're usually advertising a feed balancer or supplement.
Hideous.
