|  is my horse too fat? :P looooads of pics, plz look!
i've been showing her all year, in dressage, XC, showing classes, working hunter etc... just a bit of everythin really.
Since we're coming into winter, i think i may have let her put a bit too much weight on, since i know she'll lose a bit over winter. is the weight she is here too fat for showing classes, as i thought she was a bit too plump, but i got more positive comments from the judges at this weight than when she was a bit more streamlined... what do you think? should i aim for this weight next year too, or is this just the judges liking a fat little horsey? :P
thanks x
oh, and excuse my position in some of these pics, theyre not the best "/
if you have any genuine advise that deosnt include looking up (i've sorted that) and releasing (and that lol, these arent that recent) then please tell me :P Becky Campbell's Photos | Facebook http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3533285&l=c04778fccd&id=721641453 Becky Campbell's Photos | Facebook Login | Facebook Becky Campbell's Photos | Facebook Becky Campbell's Photos | Facebook Becky Campbell's Photos | Facebook Becky Campbell's Photos | Facebook |

she doesn't look fat at all. especially in that last picture. Judges know what they are talking about so I would just let the comments made by the people in your yard go in one ear and out the other =) She is super cute by the way. | |

Its hard to tell really in these pictures since shes moving however I wouldn't call her fat at all. Its quite refreshing to see up to weight horses in this day & age! | |

Just curious. What did you do to get weight on her? She looks great by the way. As long as you can still feel the ribs, she's okay. | |

she is a little bit chunky but she looks o.k. as long as she is doing good in the competitions and it doesnt overly exert her everytime she does one then i wouldnt worry about it. | |
