Equine Guelph Short Course – Intro to Body Condition Scoring

Body condition scoring – It’s more than just a score.

Weight management is as important for the health of your horse as it is for you. You can assess whether your horse is too skinny, too fat, or just right by learning how to body condition score. The body condition scoring system, developed by Dr. Don Henneke, scores the amount of fat on different areas of the horse, and then averages the scores to get the total score for the horse. However, the score is only half of the story. It’s what you do with that score that makes the difference for your horse and their health.
