Showing a 2yr Old

[angel1c]

Hi all, iam looking for some help as per title, my yearling filly did very well showing this season always placed but a lot of the horses although same build and some bred the same had a lot more topline than she did.

I want to get her to even more shows as a 2yr old and as in hand showing is all new to me, i am trying to find some advice on building topline on a 2yr old... do the pro's work them in some way to build it or is it more feed realated? I just want to get her looking her best but i want to do it in the correct way which is why i am asking for advice now so i have plenty of time.

Any help anyone can give will be really appreciated!
Thanks

Strapping is a good method for building topline

It is also one of the more acceptable methods used in showing. Theres a video on horse hero about strapping: http://www.horsehero.com/grooming-trimming-and-turnout/28280/1721
