Webinar – Fat scoring like a pro (body condition scoring workshop) – Dr Tamzin Furtado and Dr Dee Pollard
❓ Can you tell if your horse or pony is carrying too much fat?
❓ Are you not sure what’s muscle and what’s fat?
This practical, interactive workshop will have us working together to condition score members’ horses, using different body types (including natives) to learn.
(Information on how to put your horse forward will be available soon.)
