What's wrong with this horse?

Question

She looks really sickly almost like she has worms. She also looks like she has a bit of rain rot. I can't believe they would call her WELL BRED!

What do you think?

Answer 1

Even the most expensive, well bred horse can turn to that if not maintained. Looks like she's been in a paddock for a while and left to run wild a bit! Probably a good reason she's so cheap.

Answer 2

Aww..... poor thing. She looks underweight, and neglected.  

Answer 3

She may be well bred but she is not well maintained. Needs worming, feed and more feed. In a few months she will look good but she may have other problems. Be cautious.

Answer 4

What you have to look at is the "horse". I know this sounds weird but if you can imagine her full and with out rain rot she would be a BEAUTIFUL horse! When a horse is well bred it shows in its blood lines not on the outside.

Answer 5

She looks PREGENAT

Answer 6

Yes this filly is in need of medical attention. She is still a very nice filly. She is doc o lena bred which is a very impressive line.

Answer 7

850 lbs for a 3 yr old is a little on the light side.  Poor coat condition can develop as a result of poor nutrition.  You can only guess from the pictures, but if I was thinking about looking at the horse I would wonder what the other horses look like.  If they were all thin it would just mean the people don't have a good feeding program or possibly a poor worming rotation.  If it was just her that looked that way I would be concerned about cushings, or a thyroid disorder.  But again - you can only guess looking at the pictures, and she just looks ugly.

Answer 8

yeah she deffinatly hasnt been well groomed or even well cared for , its hard to say whats wrong with her . Because it looks like theres a lot of little things wrong . But the poor girl looks like shes been neglected.  :(

Answer 9

I do not see rain rot. What I do see is a horse that need some good hay and fed. Needs to be roaming in a pasture and allowed to eat. She is either shedding out or having trouble shedding out which is caused by poor nutrient and or worms. They are asking $400. It sounds like a good price just by the picture alone and as long as there is no serious health problems. Food and wormer helps alot.
