The body condition scoring system is a great tool for horse owners because it can be used for all horses regardless of breed or discipline to help decide if that horse is overweight, underweight, or just right. It’s very important to accurately determine your own horse’s body condition score, because that determines if your feeding program is providing the right amount of calories to meet his energy requirements.
