There was a time in our history of 9 GSDs when we were introducing a 6-week male pup to a household with a very matriarchal bitch. He was given the hard stare and put in his place for several days to the extent that he practically asked her permission to get out of his bed. Then one day she picked up a toy and "ordered" him to play - he looked terrified at first but soon cottoned on and it was mayhem after that!!
So lovely to see your two doing the same thing.

I climbed back on Atlas for the first time in nearly 9 months I think! He was great. And he’s got these mega dapples, he looks like a little leopard pony.
I feel kinda big on him though, I’m carrying an extra stone from my slimmest so maybe could do with shedding half of that or so. I’m praying that maybe his front will still come up a bit more but that’s probably wishful thinking!

He looks great, and you absolutely do not need to loose weight.

Still Fig-uring it out...
You both look fantastic.
Wow, look at those dapples, they are amazing!
I think he'll come up under you more when you get more muscle on him. He'll lift up from the girth and then ride bigger than he is.

I appreciate that! It’s more that I am not at 15% and I kinda feel like that would be good for a baby. But he has done a ton of groundwork etc so he’s not exactly weak.

Thank you! I dunno why I feel a bit big on him, I think the English saddle is fine but I’d be a little weary of the much heavier western.
Anyway I have cut out daily banana bread so we will see if that moves the needle a little bit
I’m also riding the most beautiful friesan cross saddlebred at the moment for his owner. I’m pretty obsessed with him! But he has a huge amount up in front and is big- so makes Atlas feel even smaller.

Everyone looking great 
lovely to see the photos and you don’t look too big on Atlas. He may still grow a little - but l wouldn’t worry and the spots are fab!

Yes he will definitely make Atlas seem small in comparison. I really wouldn't worry though. I'm sure he'd feel fine if you weren't used to all that horse in front of you.

You will get used to his size and feeling with a bit of practice. From the photos you are a perfect match.
