flyingah.com - Henneke Body Scoring

This link; http://www.indianahorsecouncil.org/Welfare/Welflip_Chart.pdf
will get you to what I think is the best equine body score chart. It explains how to score as well as showing pictures. Please look at that and then look at the pictures provided by myself and others of the horses removed from our ranch.
NOTE: Please remember that not all of the pictures in the media were of our horses. Some felt free to use stock photos and on one news report Julie at Dream Cathcers is holding a matted tail cut off of a horse that was NOT one of the horses taken from us.

One of the mares with her foal in Sterling in July 2005. These horses had been at the feedlot for a few weeks and were being fed, after being seized from their owner.

This is Star, a mare we euthanized in August 2007. Star was 31 years old and had a heart murmur. She was being fed free choice senior feed and had been dewormed often. She was at the end of her natural life-cycle and we made the choice to let her go. She was, in my humble opinion, a 1 on the Henneke score.

Snowy came to us in horrible condition. In the picture she is having her teeth fixed, after the surgery to repair her torn vaginal/anal area. Ultimatly Snowy could not fight all of the infection that she had carried for years, and had to be eutahnized. Snowy was a 1 on the Henneke scale.
