She is a 16.2hh TB, probably about 8 inches of bone but i haven't measured so maybe less. Below is a piccy but i accidentally cut off her head, she has a v.pretty face tho!

Difficult to tell from one pic and doesn't look particularly muscled up? Personally, I would do more work to enhance topline and muscle tone and then try Riding Horse
 
thanks for the suggestions, believe it or not she is incredibly muscled up compared to how she looked when i 1st got her! i didn't realise how far she has to go.

anyone got any suggestions for building topline?

currently i lunge in side reins twice a week, hack once a week (its very hilly near me), school twice a week and jump (usually basic gridwork and poles) once a week. Does this sound ok?
 
I'd agree with the LW hunter suggestions.

And to produce her better I'd be inclined to hack, hack, hack and then hack some more. Baileys do a top line conditioning feed - and strapping will also be hugely beneficial.

Why not PM FMM who shows at county level very successfully for some 'professional' tips.
