  • Welcome the newest member of the barn, Aurora (JC: New Year, New Me)! She arrived on Friday 2/12/2021 and we documented her first hour or so to show how underweight she is and welcome her to her new home! This transformation will be exciting to watch, follow along more closely on my Instagram (@zlequestrian).
    I'm wearing the new LeMieux Products "Sage" in this video, for anyone interested. Thanks to LeMieux for supporting me! Please check them out on Instagram @lemieuxproductsofficial or at lemieuxproducts.com.

    I may be looking at the complete wrong horse, but the grey that comes off the trailer is not “skinny”? Quite muscled with little body fat, so this horse would be considered fit- has nice chest shoulder rib and hip and top line coverage, a thin neck but muscles still, likely just conformation there.

    • @Janerane
      @Janerane Před 3 lety +28

      Yes! Shes track fit, definitely needs to fatten up and build more muscle to become a sport horse tho

      Exactly. Race fit maybe, but my no means is this a "very skinny" horse.

    • @andreabyrne6527
      @andreabyrne6527 Před 3 lety +9

      Agreed, definitely not 'very skinny'. Not quite to the weight of race fit either probs because of some time off though or inbetween owners/moving stress factors. ;)

    • @helenhodge-croom9635
      @helenhodge-croom9635 Před 3 lety +3

      she looks between track feed and regular working horse feed...it's normal for ottb to loose a little weight/get "boney" in the feed transition stages so skinny is a stretch for sure. There is a HUGE diffrence in track fit verses skinny, and if she was shipped a long way.

    OK while folks argue the skinny vs track fit issue, can we take just a moment to notice how she moves? She is so smooth! In walk, trot and canter, very smooth. Of course, as a Thoroughbred, her running gate will probably be her best. But I like the way she flags her tail, even at a trot - she is so expressive!

    Um, sorry to burst your bubble but this horse is not skinny, but race - fit. Racing horses might look skinny, because racing requires different musculature than other disciplines. That is why race horses have 'tucked in' bellies.
    Also, you got a well behaved, conditioned horse with beautiful coat and mane... and you call them a rescue? What exactly you rescued them from? lol

      Uh, there's a very real possiblility she was adopted from a capital 'R' Rescue that saves racehorses and other discarded horses from unfavourable outcomes. Usually, Rescues put in work to feed and rehabilitate animals to a generally stable condition before adopting out. The animals are still called rescues. They're still called rescues even if they were just surrendered.

    The amount of people going off about the title seems a little silly haha if you’ve seen any of Zoey’s other horses you would see why she considers this girl to be quite thin. She may not be the worst you’ve ever seen but it’s not a competition. She is lacking in the muscle and healthy fat that Zoey is so good at putting on a horse. Though she may be considered the right body type for her previous job, she is going to need a different type for her new job. Can’t we all be a little more positive and excited for this horse’s journey landing in the hands of such an accomplished and caring trainer?

    imo for everyone saying she's "race fit" - she's really not. she would still be considered a little underweight. could be due to stress or an unknown ailment, but she definitely needs weight. and tbh race-fit horses rarely ever look right. most of them are way way too young to be running that hard. i mean, even just looking up the top race horses of the year shows horses in better condition than this.
    however, she's in good hands now and i'm excited to see her transformation.
