Someone did this on another forum (thought it was a good idea) so lets see some before and after shots!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Heres oliver as we got him. Grossly overweight, barely halter broken and his coat was so matted it could not be clipped, cut with sizzors or washed out. Had to leave them to come out for months, was horrible deflecting all the questions and people thinking we were cruel to our horses.

only this one and NFED
 
Unfortunaly we sold him because he got to about 17.2/3 and none of our harness or carriages fitted him anymore! Look at the traces and you'll see how much their bent down. Plus his brother was a complete numpty and wasn't suitable, and the biggest ugly ducking in the world who had no fetlocks. seriously, his legs went straight down, really weird. They appeard in Hello! magazine for some tenuously linked royal relatives wedding shortly after we sold them. this was about 3 years ago. I have heard they were for sale again. I'd have oliver back in a heartbeat, chuzzlewitt... not so much
 
Ellie was never an ugly duck (shame about the rider though

) but she has changed rather a lot....

Sorry I'm a bit slow, took me ages to figure out YO meant yard owner (I'm special!)

I posted the second picture in the gallery the other day (medium trot and some jumping) the first picture I've seen of his medium trot, but never posted the first pic, got it from the guy I brought him from, in it he's rising 3, now he's 6

So there are 3 years between the 2 pictures!
 
My boy was such an ugly ducklin, alot of people were like 'eugh your buying THAT!!!'

Excuse dopey face in second pic!

Does it make anyone else wonder what they saw in their horse when they first looked at it or is that just me?
 
These are great...everyone deserves a pat on the back for their transformations, especially Ahrena's bay certainly looks like she was a handful...well done!
