Georige was very very poor when I bought him 12 months ago. He was so poor he looked roachd back, all his hip bones were prominent and he has no covering over his back at all. Although he has put weight on he still lacks muscle over his back.
What sort of exercises should I be doing to help with this?
Thanks
 
Does he lunge? I've found the pessoa the best thing for muscling them up. If you can get him to jog round quietly, stretching down, long and low that would help him. Also hill work when ridden, again long and low, using his back end would help too.

I dont have a pessoa but I do have a De Gogue - would that still have the same benefits?
