My overweight Cob - 560 kilo to 430 kilo, progress in a year pics

Wow, fantastic.
Sometimes owners just aim at reducing weight without increasing fitness, you however have produced a horse that is in great condition.

Well done to both of you.

I use a riser pad as the cob has a dipped back, the saddle sits better move level.

Have read every single page of this tread! Well done OP, full credit to you. You've worked really really hard and the results are shining through

*Update* now working on getting him lean as possible.

At his original weight he hated cantering and would turn into a bucking bronco. He'll now canter round the entire jumping field several times, which is quite an achievement for him without any fuss Also building up his backend which is the bit we've been struggling with.

Current weight 380kilo

Wow he looks great! What an improvement bless him I always find it shows the worst when they are tacked up in pictures all out of proportion!
