I have had Ollie for just over four months however, sometimes it feels like I have had him years and other times I have had him ten minutes :rolleyes: Does that sound mad?
Anyways this was him before he came to me

How do you think he is starting to look?
 
Looking very well, have a mare in the same situation on his first photo, no back muscle, had her teeth done after 6 years(long story) and after 3 months,she's slowly putting the weight and muscle back on.:):):):)
 
He looks wonderful! The shine you got on him looks so much better than when you first got him. He's a gorgeous boy :) Looks like he's getting some muscle and that will really make him look filled out. Good job with him
 
He's definitely looking better......it's hard though isn't it, trying to get weight and condition on when they're on box rest! Blue is starting to look somewhat "angular" again!

Oh how she doing now?

Yeah he had the majority of the weight and muscle before he went on box rest but he isn't allowed to hand graze as of yet so muscle wont be around for long I assume :(
 
She's up at a rehab yard about 30 miles away - she's going on the walker twice a day - for about 15 mins a time, but she is bouncing off the wall - bucking and rearing and generally feeling very "well"!!!! She'll get upped gradually to 30 mins twice a day and then I'll lunge her gently (if that's possible!) for a couple of weeks then hopefully turn her out for a couple of hours one day and then get back on board......scared and excited at the same time!! x

hehe I know that feeling! But is she back to full health?
Ollie is on Magic which is doing wonders for him and he is actually loving being stuck in the box.... think he nuts lol

We're not sure. We're hoping all the sinus problems are clear, but she has to go for a CT scan in spring back at hospital to find out what is happening up there. The fetlock seems ok - no heat in it and doesn't appear lame, although I've only seen her in walk and rear/buck mode. I want to wrap her in cotton bubblewrap with a sedative so she can't do any more damage! I'm getting a cob next time! x
