2 year olds - fat

Question
hello sir. generally, when a 2 year old arrives to a racing stable, they appear fat. may i know why? were they over fed with oats?

Answer
hi well i would expect them to be fat as they were fed very well while growing up. now when you start training them they will gradually start loosing weight.. remember that you have to xray the knees in order to make sure the knee's are completely closed before you start to train them. never never train a 2 yr old with open knee's thanks  ED HESS
