Thanks alot for posting this!! I would say Special is between 3 & 4.
Probably closer to 3. Ribs visible (rear ribs more visible), hip bones
too pointy, can't see individual verterbrae or back bone. For those who
asked--she's 15/16 arab, light "classic" body type. I've never seen her
"heavy", she just doesn't carry alot of weight.
I would really like to know where other people's horses are!
