what does this mean?

[LeneHorse]

Had the saddle fitter out today and she said my horse has a well sprung rib cage. What does this mean? Is it just a nice way of saying she's a fatty?

I think it might mean she has a rounded rib cage.

sorry to burst in but was wondering as we are on the 'what does this mean' topic, does any of you know what 'game' means? i was on a fun ride with my 5yo TB mare and we setting off and a woman came up to me and said 'she looks game!' anyone know the meaning of this lol??

 

[LeneHorse]

I think 'game' means she's up for it. Willing to go forward!

Much nicer description than 'gamey'!!!

oh ok thank you lol, because i just put on a stiff looking smile, huffed a chuckle and said yeeeahh in a fake agreeing way. Do you think she noticed ?...hehe..thanks again

well sprun means she has a more ronded rib cage, doesn't mean fat at all.
Game means she is ready to try anything (well, almost)
