Just a bit of background first, Red is my 12yrs, 17hh, TBxWB gelding who I have owned for 13months. We have struggled with his weight over the past year or so and he is fed Blue Chip Original, Baileys Conditioning Cubes, Dengie Original and Barley Rings with ad lib hay, he has been looking better over the past month or so and this was him last year:

Do you think he is under-weight, under-muscled, competition fit or just right?
Any comments on conformation etc wanted and welcomed!
Sorry about pic overload and messy yard :p
 
Hi, well i am no good on confo i am afraid, but i will say that your new feed regime is obviously working, to me he looks absolutely stunning. What a handsome boy

he looks in great condition now. You've done a great job, well done!

the only comment I have on his conformation is that his feet IMo could do with being a bit more upright, but best to ask your farrier/vet really.

he looks a lovely sort, I hope he's lots of fun!
 
Wow'ser! :) he looks so much better, the Blue Chip did that for one of my horses, it is magic stuff (along with everything else!)

Good for you, he looks lovely :)
 
Thank you you guys! :D He's my little angel :p
jenhunt- I think you're right looking at them now, farrier has only just been but I will ask him about it next time he comes, thanks :)
Lollii- We had him on TopSpec before and it did nothing for him but the Blue Chip has most definately done the trick and I agree it's fantastic stuff :D
Summerleft- I thought that when I saw your sig! Yours are both gorgeous by the way(not that I'm biased in any way :p), lovely pictures! Thanks :)
