Help Building Muscle?

[liss1987]

Hi,

I recently rescued a malnourished and very skinny TB gelding. he has a lot of muscle wastage as a result of this and was wondering if anyone had any tips to help him build up the muscle again now that hes a stable weight, especially in the neck and withers area?

It'll come with steady and correct work. If he'll hack I'd suggest lots of long walks and then build in some trot work when he feels ready.
