If your horse is an easy keeper, sometimes it can seem like they get fat off of air.
Some equine breeds are known for being more metabolically efficient than others. They require less digestible energy (calories) to maintain an ideal body condition than other horses. This means they can easily become overweight.

This podcast will discuss how to best feed your easy keeper and how to track their body condition score over time.
