Usually a horse will store fat in the upper neck, if this area is very bulgy and the rest of the body is bulgy, chances are the horse is overweight. But check with your vet to be sure. Overweight horses are prone to a foot problem called fonder. This can be a real hard condition to cure. Regular exersize and the correct feed and feed schedule can keep this from affecting your horse.
