I'm going a GCSE in media studies and I have to create a magazine, I need some before and after pictures of a project horse? Does anybody have any who wouldn't mind me using them.. Thanks very much:) x
 
Tnavas a TB ex-racehorse. His history was known from age two when at the trainers he rolled in his yard and became trapped not just under the rails but with the front end on one side of a post and the back end on the other side of the post. Getting him out from this mess took a lot of time/people and pulling him from all angles. Following this he became difficult to ride, it was hard to get him to eat, to keep weight on and he constantly stumbled, when in a stressful situation - eg at the races - he would splay his legs, drop his head and sway or run backwards, lights out - no-one home! Very unnerving to ride. After a year of regular chiro treatment for a neck out of alignment he collapsed under me when nerves to both front legs trapped at the same time. The chiropractor was contacted and he arranged for the vet to attend and the horse was manipulated under general anaesthetic. From that day on a transformation.

And the After pic - just a couple of months later and a total transformation. The horse now eagerly eating and living on grass alone, filled out and topline built up. Work has been no different to work done prior to the chiro work. He worked happily no stress attacks, no stumbling and within a matter of weeks had put on condition and finally looked like a healthy horse.

If you can't get a decent pic pm me with your email & I will send the files to you.
 
I know these will all be skinny to fat pics but I thought I would put a slant on it - this was my old cob toby in the early days (had already sorted feathers and mane, clipped and bathed but hes got no muscle and had literally been left in a field for 10 years)

And after a year we were winning everything and he was truly a 1 in a million safe horse:

You can use my before and afters. People have probably seen them before?

This is my filly a few days after I got her. 5 months old, worms, underweight and with lice. October '09

clipped for the very first time (and in a rush) before oh took him to Milan. Ive loaned him to a lovely equestrian centre where he will be used in the school.

Oh went to visit him last week and took these....

this is his number 1 fan, she's totally in love with him:)

Its so satisfying to bring home a waif and give him the chance to become healthy, happy and much loved by a little girl. Given the chance, I would do it again but cant gaurantee to be lucky enough to place them in good hands:(
 
Frank was a little rotund too when I got him ;)

I wish I had taken more pics as we went along, he did have v long mane at one point then pulled it, then recently attacked the legs :o but now looks like this :) though always a bit round at this time of year
