Thought I would share my boys progress with you, he's an ongoing project, and is now slowley changing shape. so this is 2 weeks after purchase (in August) height here is 14.2 3/4hh This is end of october- height here is 14.3hh And this is begining of december- Height here is 15 .1/4hh I will post some new ones in the next day or so, we now have added belly! (something that wasn't there before) and bigger bum. I'm height measuring every two weeks and think he has a couple of inches left to grow upwards, before really filling out. Thoughts on conformation welcome, good and bad, He's slightly pigeon toed but is shod every 4 weeks and its impoving.

Wow Natalia, there's been quite a change in him already. He did really look quite poor when you got him, and very weak in his back end. I know it will take some time for him to fully muscle up etc, but he is more than on the right track thanks to you. And dare I say he looks a little like an ugly duckling in the first photo but is now blossoming into a lovely little chap. He seems more alert in himself too, so is obviously enjoying all the TLC.
Edited for spelling errors.

Deff an ugly duckling! When I first sat on him I can only describe it as like riding a Foal! all skinny with long legs and no cordination and no mane or tail! He moves really well though and has a certain something about him, so I was drawn to him, even though he's a bit of a freak.

I don't think he is an ugly duckling now though Natalia - I think he is blossoming and will be quite a looker once he is fully matured. He has definitely got something about him, and boy is he thriving now bless him.
