Hey Laura, thanks :) Jake didnt mind the saddle at all :D got to the barn around 12, lunged him and went home it was tooo hot to ride!

Great progress! I would keep adding weight because his hips are still jutting out a bit. btw that saddle looks puny on him-how tall is he? And also, he looks sad in the 'before' pictures and more attentive and interested in the 'after' pictures so good work getting his mood up too :)
We are still adding plenty of weight and just exercising him lightly to start building some muscle tone. We just got the ok to exercise from the vet on Thursday and this was his first time on the lunge line :D He's about 17h I think, that saddle is a 19" all purpose crosby, so that shows you how big he is!
