RE: [RC] rider/weight study - heidi

And with regard to doing it from photos, I'd suggest that you would be more accurate, Don, to either get this article or some other article about Henneke scoring, with pictures combined with verbal descriptions, and do your own scoring.  I could certainly make an educated guess from a photo, but nothing like what you can do with the live horse right in front of you.
 
Susan has more about this on her website, too, if I recall.

This month's (August 2006) _Equus_ has an article, with attending photos
on how to do this scoring.

"BCS: What Body Condition Scores Mean
With this nine-point scale developed by Don
Henneke, PhD, there's no need to guess about
a horse's weight losses and gains."
