After reading the fat cob post....

[picolenicole]

Could you nice people tell me what you think of my cob? Hes had just over a week off due to his saddle being fitted wrong and rubbing his back. (We have her coming again tonight and then the back lady on sat!)

The photos were taken on sat. (sorry there not the best ones)

He has half a hand full on happy hoof and a carrot once a day and half a slice of small hay. He has been living out all week, but will start coming back in 3 days a week this week, then he just gets more hay with a small hole net. Oh and when his saddle fit's he'll go back to being ridden 6 times a week minimum of 40 mins - hours.

Thank you for looking and telling me what you think.

I love him!!! I guess you already feed with caution so there's nothing more to say really I would'nt want him any bigger I think he's just right , keep an eye on the neck crest . Lots of people say these types live on fresh air but unfortunately fresh air does'nt contain vits and mins which are vital for good health.

p.s never worry about your spelling , half the posts on here have typo errors , my brain is always going so fast , my fingers can't keep up!

What a lovely horse.

To my chunky loving eye he's looking great!!! Personally I'd like to see a tad more muscle but that's down to work which obvioulsy if you've been having saddle problems you can't help. My lad is a similar shape to yours, think mine is slight shorter backed but otherwise very similar and I've been working him 6 days a week for the last 6 weeks and he's got fab shape now!! Still a chunky monkey but some lovely muscle and what a bum!!!

He's gorgeous you are very lucky.

Your cob is lovely and looks to me to be the perfect weight too.

This is all I can say to all of you THANK YOU!!

I am always, worrying about his weight and it's sooooo nice to hear people say he's looking good. He's only 6 year olds I say that like he's still very young, but I guess he quite grown up now. I will keep the weight watching going (If only I could be the same on myself) and when his saddle is fitted right we will get going on building him up muscle wise.

THANK YOU all again

joeanne I am very lucky on the fact that he HATES mud with a passion!!! When we hack he will walk right out of his way to get around any mud we find
