Equine feed company Spillers is helping horse owners “get their eye in” on Body Condition Scoring (BCS) by running an online test to see who can spot an overweight horse or pony.
The test involves assessing photographs of 15 horses and marking their BCS using the 1-9 scale.
Obesity is a major welfare issue for horses and ponies, not only because of the direct weight-associated effects, but also because of the increased risk it poses for certain clinical conditions, in particular laminitis.
