We were at a ride with a new Vet and of course rain was somewhat of a comic and as we were walking up to get a pre Vet check she would put her head down and suck in her tummy and that would make her hip bones stick really out so she really at this point looked like a reject from the glue factory.
Absolutely no offense intended, but horses don't have this kind of sense of humor.  They simply are incapable of it.  Sounds like the horse was too thin....fit but too thin.   Go ahead and tell me I'm wrong, but I didn't want to let this one pass because there are a lot of newbies who read this list and trust me, your horse won't suck it up to make you look bad in front of a vet.  Your horse is just plain too thin if that happens.  I'd way rather see a chubby horse than a skinny one no matter where they finish in the pack...so long as they finish :)
