Sorry about the dreadful picture quality; I have an ancient camera phone and its really rather crap

I can't work out if my horse is fat or not ATM. From a condition scoring viewpoint she seems to be OK (can feel ribs easily but not see) etc but when I stand back I can't help thinking she looks a bit porky. She certainly never used to have that big belly

She is wormed regularly by the way and ridden for at least an hour, most days.


ETA: Lives on hay. No hard feed.

He looks fine to me from the pics, does he feel fatter than normal for this time of year, is he sluggish and unfit? if not then I don't think you need to worry too much.

I get worried that seeing her every day I miss weight creeping on (or off!) and needed a bit of perspective.
