right here is my boy, some critisium is welcomed, you dont have to be fluffy. the first picture is a little while after i got him in january (he arrived jan 7th) as you can see he looks awful, the what looks like a dipped back is actually due to muscle damage and wastage.. the other 2 are the other week hes getting there.. notice the difference in the shape/size of neck. that trot you see is hes normal trot, not because he was excited etc. (its a hell of a feeling to sit on! ) any way how do we all think hes looking?? and honestley., what classes?? i was thinking hunter/hunter type. coloured and competition horse. hes, 9yr 16.3 ive not measured it but has a lot of bone (full size brushing boots are to small. ) hes come over from ireland, possibley ish but i cant say for deff, am in the process of tracing hes history. he still has a way to go with topline, muscel and weight, he may look ok but when hes moving you can still see ribs. id like more of a covering. PICCIES...

thanks hes doing really well, out of 6 classes.. 4 3rds and a 5th and a 6th. i really cannot complain. i need to work on hes top line now.
not doing much for a while, and am still debating devon county, hes entered, but with the coloured class being hes weakest im wondering weather i really want to go or not.

Go for the day out - if you come home with a rosette then that's a bonus. Go and enjoy the show, you might be pleasantly suprised. Once the grass comes through he will add to that top line quite quickly.

I saw your boy at the last show and really admired him. You are def going in the right direction with him and yes i quite agree with the top line but you have worked miracles in such a short space of time. I agree with Med-go and enjoy yourself-he's beautifully marked and i think you will suprise yourself!
