Good body condition is when you can push on your horse's ribs and fairly easily feel them through the fat layer. If you are seeing ribs, the horse is not in his best body condition.

How do you know if your skinny or not?

If you resemble Nicole Ritchie and/or become two-dimensional at a sideways view you are "skinny". If bones and ribs are showing and your head falls over because your puny neck cannot support it, you are "skinny". "Skinny" is defined many ways these days and it usually has unhealthy connotations. For instance, models who are 6 ft tall or more striving to weigh 90 lbs. seems to be the trend. That is NOT sexy nor is it healthy. Do not worry about being "skinny". The concern should be about looking and BEing healthy and fit by maintaining a healthy body weight based on your height and body mass index (BMI)if you get on a teter toter with a feather and you go flying.
