Thank goodness they say he's now turned away. Backing so young when such a baby is one thing, but being ridden by such a huge person is quite another. His back looks bowed under the rider's weight. :eek3:

Definitely! You can literally see his back bowing :-( I wonder if he is turned away for coincidental 'no rider' type reasons or sensible 'because he's ridiculously young' reasons.
I think he will make a lovely wee horse in a couple of years!
Gosh! Poor little chap! Not surprising his back is bowing with that great lump on his back! Wonder his legs aren't buckling too! Looks a lovely little fellow too, and only two!
He looks a lovely type, shame about the lump on his back! Looks better in the driving pic, probably because his back isn't dipping through weight. Think he'd be lovely in a couple of years given some time.
Well I know lots of people on here don't think cobs should be carrying any weight and I mean their own body weight not that of an overly large rider but I think for a cob this horse is very slight bless him, bearing in mind the time of year too. I can't imagine what that person was thinking riding a two year old anyway and one that is so obviously not up to her weight. This horse isn't that far from me.
