An update...what do u think of him now?

[madsazzy]

2 months ago i posted some pics of my new horse and it caused quite a bit of debate.

This was him the day after i got him, in a jointed 3 ring gag. Clearly uncomfortable and lacking weight and muscle.



This is him a couple of weeks ago, in a french link loose ring snaffle. He has gained a fair bit of weight and his neck has thickened loads. Muscles are forming too and he doesn't evade the bit.



He's been having Mctimony treatments to compliment to work i've been doing with him. Obviously he still has a fair way to go to get up to weight and he's still lacking top line, but thought id share with you our progress in the last couple of months

He looks great and much happier. Well done you

I love the difference in those two pictures! Well done you. I never saw the first debate so don't know the background is he ex-racer? Although he looks a little Selee Francais also??

He's 17hh french trotter so is quite fine and not a good dooer. I think it will probably take until this time next year to gt him up to weight and fully fit but i would rather do it slowly.
He was unhappy in his bit and lacking muscle and weight. We have been hacking out and doing a bit of basic schooling and he loves jumping.
I'm really pleased with his progress so thanks for the lovey comments

well done you!! keep up the good work.. out of interest what is that ball your using and what do you do with it and where do you get one from? xx

not sure that he is a contender for the GB football team yet.. I think he needs a little more practice in tackling the ball!!! lol

lol he wasn't sure what the hell it was, but kicks it about. It's just a pilates exercise ball, think u can get them from sports shops. It's good for desentising and just doing something a bit different.
