My 5 year old is looking bum high

My 5 1/2 year old is looking very bum high at the moment

What do you do when your youngsters are looking like this? Do you stop riding and give them some time off, or just take it easy, or only do groundwork etc?

Any of the above, but if it was me, I'd do lots of groundwork and not ride. Lots of rest too.

Any pics ???

So things like lunging, long reining and in hand work?

Will take some pictures at the weekend. I only noticed it this week, suddenly his bum is 2 inches higher than his withers.
