just taken on an older tb gelding. 22yr old 15.3h.
previously been a high level dressage schoolmaster and had 18 months off and now being brought back to hacking/light schooling. i'm planning just to let him chill and enjoy hacking out. he's had no soundness/health problems apart from occasional scabby skin and is still a lively ride.
he's currently okay ish weight wise. can clearly see ribs and hips and has a very dipped back, but to be fair i've known him since 14yr old and he's always had very dipped back. currently he's being fed, alfa a oil, baileys outshine, build up mix and previously was on a allen and paige weight gain mix on top.
surely i can simplfy things???? very even temprement so not too worried about high energy feeds.
ideas please!
