How old is he? Working in a correct outline with enough protein in the diet to use to build up muscle will do it. Long reining ideal, especially if you have hills.

Use a pessoa, but dont put it tight, as it encourages him to work from behind and he will us ehis mucles to support and stretch his neck, and in turn they will build up.

you can buy pony pessoa's now, i'm thinking of investing in one if i find a decent yard with a school we can actually use when it's rained.

I buy similar off ebay and I can put fluffy belt around the pony's hindquarters. I even have a fluffy belt with straps to make pony go forward under saddle if child not enough leg, and this works very well.

lol @ overbent. I need to tone the batwings and will have a go at the strapping. So next year if you see a woman on the circuit with fab arms and a pony with a stonking neck, you know its me. lol. I bought fenugreek today too. I used it years ago and found it in a shop today. Who is the Polo for, me or him?

lunging in 2 lines and walking out are very effective combined with good food, barley rings + baileys no.1 soaked like porridge + pink powder are very good over the winter months,
