Yes because once you stop working them they’ll still gain it back. And I highly doubt there’s a way to fix it if the horse is eating nothing, it is most likely a glitch.
I hope it is just a glitch. I'd hate to think he might pass it on to his foals.
I’ve had horses with weight problems but it isn’t genetic. Of course you should never put a foal in a barn until their about 2 or 3 years because they will have weight problems regardless of it they have a glitch or not.

Wish I could help more, but I don't keep large horses (Size effects how much can/will they eat). All I can share is that a growing horse will lose weight if it's on 100% yellow corn feed and never gain a pound once they're fully grown unless their feed is supplemented.

When you're training an overweight horse, drop the feed to 95% and it'll lose weight but still regain full energy until around Moderate-Moderate Fleshy.
