Is he too thin then?

[Cruiseonamiro]

Re yesterday's ranting post about people saying my horse is too thin, here is the evidence! What do you reckon?

And I just like this one -

 

[Nailed]

He looks to be a perfect weight.. he is not too ribby but not carrying any extra weight.. PERFECT.

I''ll be evry please the day Ted looks like that!

Looks perfect, certainly did when i saw you at Keysoe

 

[TicTac]

Nice horse and looks in good condition to me.

 

[Parkranger]

Nice competition weight I'd say - love Oscar to look like that rather than looking in foal!

 

[Racing_Gal]

I love the last pic! He looks fine to me, I strugle to get weight on Jack, some horses just aren't made to be big and fat!

 

[Nailed]

Ted's the same as jack.. he's just not ment to carry anyweight!

[pelly]

[scotsmare]

[Nailed]

To be honest i would say he looks competition fit. Would not like to see him any lighter though. x

Not thin at all,looks fit and healthy,could maybe do with some hill work to help build the muscle in his quarters,looks a little weak behind from the pics,could be the angle of the photo though

nice lad btw

 

[ISHmad]

He looks fighting fit, not thin. I would be delighted if any of ours could one day look that good.

 

[jellyshake]

looks just nicely covered to me, think everyone has got so used to seeing overweight horses that anything at the correct weight seems too thin

 

[Cruiseonamiro]

Thanks guys

He's got your average jumpers bum but agree re quarters, he's a green 7yo and we're working on building his mucle tone up as he literally didn't have any!

Id like to see abit more top line but certainly not thin!! - as you say he is 7 so still building up slowly - which is the best way!
I like to be able to feel ribs fairly easily but not see any if that make sence?
That is of course unless its got to be mega fit ie for Racing/Interm eventing etc

 

[Kenzo]

He's delicious and oh my god yes your soooo starving him...they really should of gone to specsavers!

Look at that kind handsome face and you've got one of those smart Joules saddle cloths that I cant seem to get hold off

you cow bag lol!

It is sad isn't it. Obese seems to be acceptable and the correct weight is considered to be too thin?
