More Dexter photos - Advice needed also!

Sorry you are all going to get sick of seeing him!!
Here are a few more photos of Dexter naked, also just wondering what people thought of his weight, muscle tone and confirmation?
Side veiw whilst half asleep:


Bum veiw:

Head shot just because he is so handsome


Also, he is quite scarred especially around his back legs mailny superficial but some seem faily recent (his old owner used to XC and hunt with no boots on him) He has raised scar tissue on his shins on the hinds, which my vet has told me is just over built tissue from past damage (to be expected given his past proffesion!) and im not to worry about it. But does any one have any ideas how i can help the scars to heal??

Here are a few photos I took (no nasties please he has been around the block a few times!)





Oh and I hacked him today and he was a total gent!! Even popped over a little log whilst in the woods!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Its fair to say im in love with my boy!

Oh bless him - what a honey!

Just from a quick glance, the most obvious thing is the muscle wastage from the poorly fitting saddle. There's a good page on the Balance International website about using ground work to help build up back muscles. *squirrels off* Here you go www.balanceinternational.com/saddles_remedial.html

Thanks Wendy im taking a look now ;D The saddle he had before was shocking
I have the saddler coming out to fit one for him but am hoping I can get some more muscle on his back.

i think Wendy is right, the remedial balance coarse would be excellent for him, he looks a lovely wee soul, check out the balance website

Oh bless him he's beautiful, his legs look like my boys legs too ... Ive been told he hunted in the past, must have been with no boots on either as he's covered in superficial cuts like your man.

Ive been using Johnsons Baby Naturals Olive Oil Intensive Moisturiser on OIscs legs, it doesnt get rid of his scars but makes them less visable and probably more comfortable for him as most are where his legs bend. Its not expensive, about £3 for a tube, got it from supermarket and thought Id give it a go.

Failing that, aloe vera gel or something simlilar, fantastic healing properties to it.

Hope this helps
