In fact, it's hard to really get a feel for how wide Pig is in photos. It's obvious he's an Irish-bred turf horse from up close, just from how substantial he is. That bone adds a lot of weight!<br /><br />So true! Plus, just like humans can carry weight differently, some horses can too. Mikey is a lot slimmer than Pig, too. I mean, my horse isn't fat, but no one would ever call him skinny either! ;)Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-62962834655998023812015-02-11T11:09:34.385-05:002015-02-11T11:09:34.385-05:00Holy cow!

I think Mikey is a bit finer boned than Guinness, but I'm surprised it's so much of a difference. Though since horses are so big, I guess where humans vary by 20 pounds or so, it makes sense that a horse would vary by 200-300!

I was astounded to see that my 16h TB, with very little extra weight on him, clocked in at 1450 lbs. Insane! He never taped that high! Mikey looks finer boned than Guinness, so I wonder... :)Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.com
