How is his weight?

[Charmaine18]

I got Scooby on loan on the 8th October. This is what he looked like then (after a clip):

Then here he is around November time:

And here he is now - I couldn't get a good photo on my phone, and with the limited space in the stable, but I had a go:

How much more do you think I need to get off him? I'd rather he was on the lean side going into spring, because the minute that grass starts coming through he'll puff up like a balloon!

Oh, and I can't resist posting one more photo...

I don't think he appreciated being made to look like a girl!

He looks an ideal weight in the lower pics. Not too fat and not to lean

He is a nice boy, he looks good from what I can tell, photos are a bit hazy, but he does not appear to have fatty areas. I would not want any more on him, lovely boy though

I agree he looks perfect to me, maybe just needs a mit more muscle on his rump, love his plaits, hes a real cutey x

Ooh thanks.

I agree he does need more muscle - he really doesn't engage his back end at all, just pulls himself along on his forehand, so we need to work on that. So you don't think he needs any more off before we go into spring?

he looks like how a cob should look like. chunky. (no i dont think he is fat he just fills his frame!! as it should be)

He looks perfect to me

If you're worried about spring it wouldnt hurt him to lose a tiny bit more (as it it would cause no harm) but he doesnt need to imo

In the current conditions I wouldn't worry too much about his weight. He looks about right and you'll be able to up his workload again soon and he'll soon tone up.

He's a lovely boy, you're very lucky getting a nice lad like that on loan. You've done a great job with his weight as well, he looks so much better.

I think Scooby is just right, and very smexy!
