Amazing!. Well done on such a huge improvement, a real credit to you. Can I ask how long it took for a fantastic improvement and what exercises you used?

I can barely believe that he is the same horse. You have worked wonders with him. He is a credit to you. Well done!

blimey looks like a different horse, from the first photo I wouldn't have thought he would be able to be ridden again. Well done he looks amazing!

WOW, That transformation is incredible, never in a month of sundays would I think that was possible.
Really doesn't look like the same pony - apart from his matching socks!
Very well done you. Lovely pony.

That is just wonderful OP! What a lucky horse to be with you. He looked about 28 years old in the first photo, and now he is in his prime. Fabulous job. :) :)

Gosh! I can't believe what I am seeing. He had such a sway back and pot belly, and now he hasn't...

Well done!

I too had to check the socks to make sure it was the same horse. The difference is unbelievable. Well done and how lucky is he to have you.

This thread has taught me not to scroll through the ugly duckling horses who are for sale so quickly!

I've commented on his transformation before but it's just amazing.

What a transformation. I'm afraid I would have left him where he was (unless it was a rescue situation) if I'd seen him as he was when you bought him. Well done for seeing the potential and working so hard to realise it.

That is just incredible, all credit to you OP i'm not sure many people would have taken on such a horse! I would never have guessed you could reverse such a sever sway back in such a relatively short space of time, he looks about 15 years younger, not 2 years older!

Amazing...in the first pic he looks to have a very serious back problem - like he could be in pain. Unbelievable how you were able to change it - a massive well done! How did you do it, besides all the obvious tlc??

Without the socks to identify him I would not have believed that is the same pony. Wow, well done.

I confess to actually scrolling back to check the socks very carefully; I didn't believe my eyes!

However have you changed his basic shape so much? Where did the massive dipped back and the weird rump go? Well done OP, a first rate job and bet he is happier in himself too.
