Just curious you know. Like , when I am walking in the snow, and I get thinking about things. i thought why are horses always lean?
interesting no?
I think they walk a lot.
im cracking up.. so random …
maybe cuz they always are running around? and cuz oats and hay is healthy?
wait wait wait… u have snow?????? lucky!!!!!!
On the subject of horses, I once had a rebbi who saw me walking with a Polo – Ralph Lauren shirt that had the little horse emblem on it. He looks at me and says, “Ahem. I see the ferd is outside the shirt today.” (I do not have a lot of respect for him, but hey – a good line is a good line!)
Always
Isn’t it obvious? They take those $250 Brazilian diet pills!
yitay- haha thats a good one love it!
WIY: lol
yitayningwut: I hope this isn’t a dumb question, but what’s a ferd?
Yiddish for horse. It’s akin to calling someone a wild animal.
Thanks ski 🙂
ARWSF -“i thought why are horses always lean?”
And I think that most are obese. Most don’t spend all day at the racetrack, but lounging around in the pasture -chomping away.
Maybe you get fooled by where their belly is. When they are fat -it hangs down, not like us humans where it sticks out for e/o to notice!
Lol, that’s good.

Why have I never seen an overweight horse?
The reason some people are obese is because although they should eat like a person, they eat like a horse. This is not a problem for a horse.
I just googled “obese horse,” and there are all these random sites with photos of horses that they say are obese, but don’t look fat at all. Maybe that’s why.

Horses eat oats hay, grass…these things wouldn’t make people fat. The hay and grass would make us sick but oats are healthy and filling.
We get fat from eating too much and from eating junk food.
WIY,
Google “eat like a horse”.
WIY – Too much carbs will make anyone fat, even horses.
Ditto for all the other animals! The only exceptions maybe where humans interfered.
I know people will mention elephants, whales, and so on but i dont think they are overweight in comparison to each other they are just built that way.
yitayningwut: isn’t ferd more like an idiot rather than a wild animal?
they dont just run around, they also carry pple on their backs, can you imagine running with a few sacks of potatoes on your back?
youve never seen my shvigger.
Lol. This guy went to his doctor and complained that he eats like a horse, drinks like a fish, works like a dog, is as blind as a bat, as busy as a beaver, as gentle as a lamb, as quiet as a mouse, as stubon as a mule and sweats like a pig. The doctor replied that he should go and see a vet!

Ha
Because my mother in law does not live in your town.
(jk….i dont have a mother in law yet, and if I did, I would never say that…)
Chocandpatience – To the best of my knowledge, no.
Urban Dictionary
Ferd
(noun)
2. Any individual who displays a significant lack of intelligence, logic, or comprehension of fact or reason.
(Other definitions left out deliberately.)
they don’t wear tight clothes, so how can anyone tell if horses are overweight?
FYI – Horses are not obese because they have a lot of muscle. I think this topic is a waste of time and not worthy of a discussion.
You have seen overweight horses.
Its the black saddle that makes them look 10 lbs lighter
If horses are not overweight, then how do they get saddlebags?
OneOfMany – LOL I don’t think they are referring to the Yiddish word ferd, pronounced feh-rd, but to another word that rhymes with nerd (and word, for that matter). I’m going to enter it into UD now, should go up within a day or so. Will spell it fehrd.
Hi arwsf.
First of all, that is super nice and thoughtful of you to ask.
Sure, leads would be welcome.
What do you suggest?
And how could such info be made less public so it’s not on an overweight horse thread? lol
this thread reminds me of those bizarre places in cyberspace which you sometime end up in but have no idea how on earth you ever got there…
Oh, that makes sense. I was thinking that “furred” didn’t sound much like Yiddish.

” WIY – Too much carbs will make anyone fat, even horses.”
That’s a myth. Carbs only make you fat if you know what they are and you care about them hence they can’t make horses fat. (This is not a scientifically proven fact)

” yitayningwut: isn’t ferd more like an idiot ratherthana wildanimal?”
Ferd is short for Ferdinand.
WIY: Apparently “ferd” means more than one thing.
Always runs, I should have known that you started this thread. I was laughing so hard I was crying. DY and Shticky, your comments are +10000. Sooooo funny!.
BTGuy – I sure hope the shidduch suggestions that Always can have for you are better than a fat horse!!LOL!
Oneofmany
That was a joke. Although it may be true.
Hi arwsf.
That is a relief. Actually, it’s what is on the inside that counts. One cannot hide what’s underneath the hide….or something like that…lol
Hi Nechomah.
Well, if arwsf goes through NASI, such a match would be too expensive anyway. YIKES! lol
Because if there was such a thing as fat horses and skinny horses, Paroah’s dream would not have needed cows.
As it happens there are those who call me a fat horse. go figure.
do you want my email??
I dont think my wife wants me to say yes.
