Hello,

I know this has probably been done to death but I've been looking back through old posts and you can no longer see a lot of the photos.

Just wondering if people could post before and after pictures of there horses.
Be that from youngster to adult or before and after backing and everything in between

Thank you

This is my mare when I took her on march last year after being turned away for winter -



And this is her now as an 8 year old in full work -

She's been heartachingly bad and fabulous fun in equal measure :D Started out needing to be rebacked and is now training towards advanced, clever little wotsit.

She is also the cutest horse in existence...

Hopefully the link works as can't work out how to post a pic!

The first is when I tried him and the second is 3 years later at Trailblazers Finals a few weeks ago. In between that time I had a baby so don't get to ride as I would like.
He's the best horse I could ever wish for a dream come true ❤️

At dealers as a novice completely bombproof 14.2hh dressage cob:

As a 13.2hh completely unsafe cob who would bite your hand if you tried to catch her and kicked at any provocation:

Now as a cob who doesn't bother about any type of traffic will do anything for you as long as she trusts you and whom I will be riding in another month or so:

My daughters "safe as houses, bombproof, one in a million, been there done it got the t shirt" pony- which actually translates to: just broken, terrified of its own shadow, badly treated, farrier hating, forged passport pony.



To now:
Loves children, trusts his "family" but no one else, loving life, abit overweight, honest & trying. Still doesn't like the farrier but getting better.

All of these transformations are brilliant, but I must admit I am a SUCKER for a gorgeous grey. Beautiful.
