Before anyone says anything, i KNOW i need to put my hands forward! It was his first time jumping since he came back into work after some time off, so jumping was rather exciting :p he tends to jump massive and take off early, so i just need to get used to him again :)
Heres some piccies. I know hes quite thin in the stable pic, but hes a hell of a lot better than he was when i got him :D but please tell me the truth of what you think of him. I wont get offended ;)

Sorry for pic overload :o:D
 
He looks a really nice type, and don't think he looks skinny for a tb in the first pic at all (but not overweight either!). Maybe just a bit more building up behind?
 
Hes lovely. He has a bit of a muscle lump then dip on his back, and maybe I would prefer some more muscle on his bottom and over his back. But I love him and he looks great in the jumping pics. Very nice face and lovely kind eye :)
 
Thankyou everyone :)
You've probably noticed, but he is moving in the last pic.. incase you thought he was standing still? But yeah, i agree more muscle build up. Getting pessoa out in next couple of days :)
Thankyou for saying about my leg position! I thought they were quite far back, but i know nothing :o
 
Awk hes gorgeous :) ... I think your hands are fine as your not socking him in the mouth like! I do the same with my hands if mines being excitable as i no there'll be a buck or to when we land!! ... lol i was just about to ask if he was moving in the last pic, but you beat me to it :p
 
Thankyou BB :) yeah me too, pessoa is coming out lol :D thankyou!
Thankyou Nicole :) yeah i kinda like to keep a contact with him because he is known to tank off after the jump, not anything bad.. but if your not ready for it, it kinda unbalances you! Aw at your one, throwing in a buck. Jumping is soooo exciting you know :p
 
A wee buck lmao he once bucked whilst jumping :p do not ask me how he managed it in mid air, but my friend was like omg how did u stay on haha i was like its a flook lol ... but na he only does it if he hasnt been jumped in like 3/4 weeks, but its good fun :rolleyes:
 
Oh was meant to say for building topline i started lunging in draw reins (seen on here somewere) it really helps them stretch along the back and has help with my boys topline quite abit :) Cheap to lol ... I started it at twice a week and now do it at least once a week. I heard the paosso jabs them in the mouth so didnt go for that option!!
 
looks fine weightwise - what are you feeding him though? Alongside hillwork try using a bungee reign for building up topline, you can ride in them too, IMO much more forgiving than any of the other lungeing aids
 
Yeah, started to hillwork on monday with him :) live in scotland, so plently hills lol.
Im feeding him on a showmix that my mate gets, its put the weight on him amazingly so just keeping him on that over winter. He gets pink powder in it aswell :)
