Ooo I've got 2 sets of these!
My current project pony, Henry:
The day I tried him, fat, lazy, unfit, couldn't canter down the long side without breaking or going disunited.
December last year, our first dressage competition, super backwards and spooky, could barely get him out of walk, did most of the test on the 3/4 line
10 months on from the first photo, qualifying for PC national champs with 2nd and 4th (and team 6th), consistently scoring mid-high 60s for prelim level tests, and getting 7.0s for canter work! Oh, and he can jump now too! We've still got a long way to go but we're getting there
Secondly, my beautiful Rosie:
I can't remember exactly when these were taken, but she came to me at 5yo, incredibly green, rushed everywhere, didn't know how to use herself for jumping or flat. Also went through stages of awful bucking and stopping at jumps, and at one point I couldn't even get her near a pole on the floor. She didn't load and had a lot of issues on the ground too. Got told I should send her to the meat man because she'd never turn into anything decent.
5.5 years later, my absolute horse of a lifetime. Took me from never having been XC to eventing at 1m in 3 years, complete XC machine, jumping consistent double clears, never even thought about stopping or running out at any jump SJ or XC, an absolute dream to hunt, dressage placings up to BD novice, could hack her anywhere and do anything with her (so long as you asked her right
) We were about to start affiliating at 1m and I had several people tell me that she'd have the scope for Novice. A big middle finger to everyone who said she was useless. (The dressage photo isn't the best but I don't appear to have any from our last few months sadly)

Iknowmyvalue, I can't believe those are the same horses! So many amazing transformations on this thread.

Some lovely transformations!
Wagtail, I love your mare.
Here's Luna, aged 3, rising 4 in March 2016
And this summer as a 5 year old, slightly lacking ridden photos unfortunately!
We may qualify for a fit to fat comment though!
Thank you. I can't see your pictures though
It maybe because it's photobucket?)Akkalia1

3 almost 4 year old last March
This summer at 5

The day I met Blitz as a 7mo foal:
First sit
After the "big nostril affair"
Enjoying "retirement"
The day I met Pinto, in Aug 2005
Pinto Jul 2006
My favourite pic of Pinto, in Jul 2012
A very unsure Tartine about a week after I bought her
Tartine showing off her "thin" side last week
Haha... I'm always the photographer, so very, very few photos of me and my horses!

Thinks the luddites had a point...
Wow there's some really nice horses on this thread. Below are some of the midget mare, she's just growing up really, so not a 'transformation' as such:
This is the funny little critter I bought:
This is her a couple of months later at a little showing show:
And this is her about a week ago, 8 months since I bought her (a hand taller, and a different colour), she's 3 now:

Gorgeous! Is she a bay roan?

Hmm, I actually don't know how one would describe her current colour. She looks a bit like a steel grey, with brown highlights and some jet black spots on her haunches. This isn't a very good picture but it shows her colour a bit better:

I am not up on genetics but she looks like she has some Appaloosa influence, her tail is typical and there are definite signs of proper spots, maybe one of the more clued up people will give an opinion.
Sorry I meant to quote DabDab's post

I'd want to see some mottly skin roams are very prone to 'corn spots' of darker colour. And the presentation. Along the tail can happen with 'frosty roans' where the roan gets restricted along the top line,

Haha, yes sorry, my response isn't very helpful genetically 
(but meant I just gleaned an interesting corn spot fact from Ester, so that's a win)
She's a spotty - mottles and all. Mum is a bay tb, dad is a fewspot knabstrupper. I had her tested out of interest and she's lp/Lp, PATN1/N, black base, no agouti.

She looks more appy/LP on my laptop than on phone actually, partly as you can see the white sclera then

I have plenty, from foal
To weedy 3yo who couldn't canter a circle without falling over
From that 3yo to now
But my all time favourite and proudest transformation is this one:
From the fat 9yo after 2 years off, living out with a tendon injury
Just 6 months later - novice dressage, hacking in all paces, little sj and xc jumps
