    Online Poll – The Attitudes of Horse Owners to Low and High Body Condition 

    Too big, too thin – it’s a question many of us ask, even about our horses. 

    Last year the Dr David Marlin team ran an online poll to understand the attitudes of horse owners to different equine body conditions.

    The thought-provoking poll was live for only three days yet it garnered a whopping 3,531 responses!

    Participants were asked four closed questions. 

    Read the questions below, followed by the answers given, plus a summary of the results from David.

    Online Poll:

    If you’re worried about your horse being overweight or too thin, here’s a whole host of content to allay your concerns…
