This is Ben, a rising 6 ISH who I have had since June.

He will be eventing this summer. Please excuse his general scruffiness (I am a bad lazy Mummy!!)

Any comments greatfully recieved!!
 
I think he's lovely, and he's looking a good weight for the time of year! you don't say what work he's in or what you are wanting to do with him, but personally I would want to see some more muscle over his quarters and a bit more topline, to balance him out a bit. He's a super sort though!

Thank you, I think he is lovely, but I am obviously biased!

At the moment he is hacking out 3/4 times a week for around an hour, walk, trot and canter, once round the gallops (1.5 miles) half trot and half canter, and then 45 minutes schooling/jumping will up the schooling to lessons in March and to 2/3 times a week.
 
Ooo it's the first time i've seen close up photos of Ben! Enys has a very handsome half-bro (though they don't look that alike...except maybe the legs).

He looks in great condition...his coat is fantastic, very shiny :D. I look forward to seeing what you do with him.
