Sway back *pics*

[Grey_Arab]

I was just wondering whether anyone could give me anymore info on this as I'm not sure whether my boy is heading that way or just has a grass belly he is 18 btw and has a fairly hard life (ridden for at least an hour 5/6days a week atm, less as of Thurs)?? Sorry if this should be in veterinary, wasn't sure where to put it.

Here are some pics...

Looks pretty good to me, personally I don't think an hour or so a day 5/6 days a week is a hard life! i'd like to work that much!!

No, he looks about the same..... maybe he is just losing muscle in the important areas.... but doesnt look any different to me!!

looks to be in bloody good shape! good on you.

Hope ted looks like that it two years time.. obviously not grey lol.

Yep he looks similar in all 3 pics. Wouldn't hurt to get his back checked/have the vet give him a checkup though just in case there are any probs about to raise their heads

Does you credit that you worry so much - he obviously has a good mummy to watch out for him

What a lovely face he has!

I dont think he is sway backed at all! At 18 he is perfectly entitled to look as great as he does. Stop worrying!

BTW that is not hard work!!!

He is gorgeous. I do not see anything wrong. Believe me, that is not a sway back!

He looks in good condition and is obviously very well loved.

He is just lovely. Looks like an arab mare I used to know.

Here's an awful, extreme sway back:

Here are some less awful ones:

I don't think yours falls into any of these categories really.
