Does the overgirth go through the standing martingale loop at the horse's midline?

[@polo4life157]

Yes

[@erinrodda1988]

Fly spray anyone?

[@lorimitchell9025]

Can you ride bitless in polo

[@paulinapv]

yup you can

[@ingridblohm-hyde805]

@@paulinapv Yeahhhh!!! Awesome as I am a bitless rider.

[@jiezhu9227]

the horse looks not so happy and aggressive

[@yaffatilbor3921]

why is that horse so skinny??

[@marycanary3871]

skinny? there’s no ribs or anything showing. this is a fairly fit horse. a horse even fitter than this would show full musculature. this horse has a “jumper butt”, potentially from being worked before fully growing. there is nothing wrong with it. it just looks pointy. that is not the horse’s hip. the horse has a high wither and a large spine. that’s about it. cannot see the spine in the neck or ribs. hopefully you learn more about equine body scoring and conditioning so you can keep your horses fit and not obese, which is very dangerous for horses.
