HOW CAN I TELL WHETHER MY HORSE IS TOO FAT OR TOO THIN? 

It can be difficult to accurately describe your horse’s condition as people can have very different perceptions of what constitutes a fat and or thin horse.

You can also evaluate your horse’s muscle development and top line as well as using a weigh tape or weighbridge to find his bodyweight.
