The mare I got who was rescued has bony hips, not really bad but you can feel them more then say like a stockier horse, the mare I was taking care of before is an appy and her hips arent as bony to the touch as my horse. There is also some other arabians at the boarding facility who are like that as well and the manager told me it is just how they are compared to stock breeds. But Im not sure if I believe it, I have Arabian horse World magazines and I know these horses are halter bred so it doesnt show as much, but I just dont know. She gets oat hay/alfalfa mixed and sweet feed plus pasture so I just dont know, she definately has energy and she isnt a big mare either maybe a little bit bigger then the one her( who is really cute btw, make her a sorrel and they could be twins) Are you talking about "rafter hips?" Or are you just talking about horses that just look bony compared to beefed up, fat-bottomed, stock horses?
