The advice to allow free access to food for an obese horse is doomed to failure. Too much food is how they got that way in the first place.

In other words, a horse that is wiggling around trying to find balance, or one that has found balance by adopting a crooked posture, cannot develop strength in the ways that lead to better performance.
