Fat Horse Slim
AMBER ALERT! My horse is overweight
This chapter is for horses that are overweight but not at as much risk as Red horses. Any horse at body score 4 or more is overweight.
You may like the look of this body score, and you may still choose to keep your horse like this, but don’t fool yourself that it is a healthy condition for any prolonged period of time. The only time a body score of 4 may be acceptable is if it is the top of a range of weights the horse goes through, and you are CERTAIN that the weight will come off later.
Just come from the Red diet? Well done for getting this far – you have to hold your nerve; it would be easy to slip back into your old ways and lose all the progress you have made.
