Fat Horse Slim

Fat will feel spongy under your fngers and muscle more frm. Try on yourself or a friend. Dangerous crest fat will harden when it has been there for a while and often rocks from side to side when the horse walks. Where to look for fat building up: 1. The neck, especially the ‘crest’ just under the mane. 2. The withers and backbone; along either side. 3. The shoulder blades and how they meet the neck and ribs. 4. The ribs, how easily they can be seen and felt. 5. The bony points of the pelvis – croup, point of hip and tail head. 6. The view of the rump from behind.
