Evaluating Body Condition


Horse 1

This horse would have a condition score of 3.5. The neck is thin, but not accentuated as required to be a 3. The withers are thin, there is fat buildup halfway on the spinous processes, and the tailhead is prominent but individual vertebrae cannot be visually identified. The ribs are easily discernible with no fat being deposited behind the shoulder.
