Thanks guys, was starting to doubt myself! He is a meat and compact little horse but I or no one else has ever thought/commented that he was freakishly short backed!
IMHO there was some pretty odd judging going on however I guess you pay your money and get their opinion! Lolo, how did Reg get on?
Thanks Faracat, that's what I thought but after getting a small lecture when I said that I didnt think he was, was seriously starting to doubt my own common sense x

I replaced them with premier equine rugs, which I like, however.... They have rubbed their manes terribly, now it could just be that they were in rugs longer but Ive never...
I'm going tomorrow, can you get on and off ok? I'm about an hour away and the wether has been dire since 2am this morning when I got home from work. Must have been bad previously as hubby had got the horses in!! which I never thought he would do even if there was an apocalypse or something...
