The Henneke Scoring
System is a scientific method of evaluating a horse's body condition
regardless of breed, body type, sex or age. It is now widely used by
law enforcement agencies as an objective method of scoring a horse's
body condition in horse cruelty cases. The Chart is accepted in a
court of law.

working on Gypsy's fungus infection, but she still has a long way to
go. Thank you, Shula from Serenity Horse Rescue for the helpful tip

02/10/10 Gypsy weighs
680 lbs now. She is losing most of her old hair and a new coat is
growing in. The penicillin took care of the severe fungus infection
, and we're working on her rain rot. She eats twice a day now and is
on free choice hay. She's very intelligent and eager to please. She
loves apples and carrots but peppermint candy is her favorite treat.
