We are conditioned to see fat horses as healthy and lean ones as too skinny, so your vet is probably correct. I haven't seen you ride any skinny horses but doing a body condition score can help ease your mind if you're worried. Mine are all fat but not dangerously so.
This is what I'm trying to remind myself! Especially since a lot of this feedback is coming from my connections in the competition world and "fat shiny show horses" is definitely the trendy aesthetic
