Hey, I was just wondering if anyone would be able to have a look over my boy! Just a look over his weight and confirmation! I know he needs to loose a bit of weight, he's been out to grass for a year so has no muscle. I'm on my phone, so if anyone can help, could they pm me so I can email pic etc! As I can't put photos up using my phone!

Any help would be great, I would just like a few other opinions on him!

Thanks :D
 
Definately 4?

Only ask as he's very small in front. He still looks like he needs to spring his shoulders and chest out.

I wouldn't say he needs to lose any weight if I'm honest, nor gain any...more just furnish up. He still looks like he has a lot of growing to do, so I wouldn't push him too much on building muscle up just yet. :) Don' know his history/future plans with him, but for ridden work, I'd probably leave for a little while longer and start longreining with him to encourage slight muscle encouragement and keep him the weight he is. :)

Yes definitely 4! :) Yes I get what you mean, He is on a slight angle, (bum more towards the cam) but he is slight smaller up front. Head on his chest is rather wide.

Yeah, i just need to bring him into some quite work, nothing too major at the moment :)
 
Doesn't need to lose weight at all, just gain muscle. The angle does make him very bum high and small in front. As he is a cob I would not want him to be any thinner.
 
Thanks wagtail,

it's just my bad photography skills! I just read, your supposed to feel but not see the ribs blah blah.... well i can feel his ribs with a big poke! I will be bringing him to work this summer, so he should build up quite a bit of muscle.
 
Oh ghostie! I'm afraid you just made my head swell!! haha :D

I'm very proud of my boy, hes come a long way since I got him, and makes me laugh all the time! I think he has really kind eyes!
