RIBS!

Possibly, I have found some on mine as well
I will get a photo.
Actually only found because I clipped.

Ella is clipped and she has no ribs. She even felt too wide for me today.

 

[chunky monkey]

None on my boys. Living it up too much.
Last year i could see some of chunkys.
Im not too worried. There well covered but not over fat. I think i shall be running short of grass soon anyway.

Yay! Belle has ribs too (just) which I'm jolly pleased about for this time of year. Well done

 

[newforest]

Well I did try and get a photo of ours and I made her look deformed.
Not wanting to hijack this lovely thread I will start one.

Well done Mr Sid andJane on finding those elusive ribs.

Question- as good doers age, do they become less good at being good, or is this a lifetime search of the rib. (asking for a friend )

Jess' aren't any easier to find almost 20 years on! She's mad as a hatter at the moment as I am muzzling her so she can go out on grass with Niko during the day, she doesn't understand the other option is no grass!

Well Belle is 26 now which I would consider getting a bit older, every year I struggle still, it takes a lot of effort to get her a nice weight coming out of winter, so nope it would appear with some that it’s a lifetime search.

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

I must have been mistaken. He's been on the new track for a few days and now there are no ribs.

Ah well, another optical illusion...

I have similar lines on the side of her body.
My money is a combor of muscle and stuffing. Its hard and she's unimpressed with me pressing to check if I can move it or not.
When she coughed I could see the muscle she just used to do the cough!
She's also got huge pectorials as well that I think she's working out when I go home!!
She's got extra stuffing that much is evident, it's just not on the sides as that's like rock.
