Why would anyone think that this is acceptable?!?!

Poor thing it's obese!

Doesn't look SO bad in the 3rd pic...but that 1st and last are not pretty! I saw that one a little while back, apart from the fat, looks like an alright horse!

 

[wattamus]

yes I thought that, it should be recognised as a form of cruelty IMHO and yes she looks lovely and will probably be a nice horse if she was a bit lighter

It is

Certainly in the eyes of welfare charities, the BHS etc.

Yes, obese, but I bet there is a super horse under that flubber!

Not as bad as I've seen on that site, welfare agencies will visit off the back of advert photos if you report.. I know of at least 2 ongoing cases

 

[welsh horse rider]

poor mare....... Agree with you Rhino i think there is a stunning mare under all the blubber

 

[caberston]

cripes! cant imagine her doing much else in that state other than roll down a hill! never mind jump 1m 40! poor lady

 

[Apercrumbie]

Although do you think she is a Belgian Warmblood? It's almost impossible to tell what her actual build is like under all that blubber...

 

[ezililaur]

She looks more like a Belgian draft to me!

Can't see if she's branded under the fluff but she probably is - especially if Parco breeding is correct.

BWP is an open studbook so the horses can vary dramatically - mine looks virtually full tb when he is fit and is a real lightweight but I have seen other much heavier built versions.

Faaaaaaat!

basically that is cruetly, letting an animal get in that condition.

i wonder if she can actually jump 140cm like it states in the advert... really doesnt look like she has the build for it. Nice horse just way too chunky

 

[minkymoo]

Not sure what is worse, the weight or the placement of the saddle. Jaysus! Poor thing!

You beat me too it! It looks like the guy is sitting on her neck the poor thing!!

I have to admit I have seen worse weight wise and she does look like a chunky mare but even so, it's not good or healthy.

 

[Goldenstar]

Poor girl , there's a story there probally not a good one hope she finds someone nice.

 

[Magicmillbrook]

She really doesnt look like a WB at all. She looks similar to our Polish Meat Cob who was that fat when we got her, she was a heavy weight cob even under her fat suit. At the vetting our vet gave her owner a lecture about how obese she was. As the fat subsided she was a cracker and could easily clear 1m 40, and she was only 15.1

Must admit I actually quite like the look of her, although even if the tack is included it wouldn't do her any good, that saddle is awful! I think she could be a really nice horse under all that blubber! Can't believe a dealer would put an advert out with her looking like that though!
