putting topline on an older horse

Take it slowly as their muscles will need time to adapt. I feed mine topline conditioning mix as it's non heating. I school him in a long and low outline a lot and pick him up into a more advanced outline for only 15 or 20 mins in the middle of our session. I also lunge him in a pessoa twice a week. Plus I feed his hay from the floor of his stable instaed of in a net which helps stop them developing too much muscle under their neck. Hope that helps. x
