    Re: horsepeople: is she overfat?
    I really try to keep them out most of the time; I would have them out 24-7 but sometimes the weather is just too dangerous. :) I don't think that they get bored in their stalls per se; but because you mentioned that many horses graze out of boredom, I think that they are bored in the pasture. But then again they have alot of room out there and I guess that they are just being horses, hehe.

    IMO she's a little chunky. Of course my QH always had a similar build, probably from grazing constantly.

    It really makes it hard to tell; then there are some TB/arab types that I would have called skinny before I knew that some of them just look like that. :)
    Cuesta does get a nice workout though. Emma (whiter mare) is the dominant one and constantly is working Cuesta around the field. I joke that she is my horse exerciser. :)

    Oo! Go live on a mountain and they'll work their butts off and build crazy muscle!
    I don't know horses at all, but my aunt lives in cali in the foothills, and her horses were huge! Of course I was like...12 but still. :)

    Most land here is flat as a tabletop; at least in their pasture. Now if we let them go in the woods with all of the gullies and ravines.. although they might never come back! :)
