You can see the ‘gully’ that has formed where the fat sits each side of the spine and the fat pockets on the tailhead. 🤓
It’s important to know where your horse or pony holds their fat as these are areas you can monitor when managing body condition. ✅ It’s even more important to ensure you have a management, exercise and diet plan in place, should they be holding too much weight, to reduce the risk of conditions such as laminitis. ⚠
Our Equine Weight Loss Handbook is full of useful tips – including a body condition scoring ‘how to’, so you can score your horse or pony, at home! The booklet also includes:
⭐️ How to weigh tape
⭐️ Cresty Neck Scoring
⭐️ Exercise
⭐️ How much forage to feed
⭐️ How to limit forage safely
⭐️ Limiting grazing options
There’s practical pages too, where you can record your horse’s scores and weights, calculate how much to feed and monitor progress. ✏️
