Enjoy!!!

And Question, does Bandit look thin to you guys?

OrangeRikki · 04-17-2006, 08:52 AM

Awww, they look like they were having a great time!!!!! THey are both adorable!!!!!!!

To me, yeah he looks a bit on the skinny side. Especially his neck. I think he could do with a bit more weight and some more muscling and he'll look wonderful!!

Yeah, i'm working on the neck...mostly doing bending exercises and such...but for weight...what can I do? Should I increase his grain? Put him on a weight builder? He's so narrow I feel awkward riding him. He's 15.2 which isn't HUGE, but it feels tiny because he's so narrow...

I love the last pic of Bandit in the first post..."Whew, gotta rest" and then that pic of him sniffing the lunge line or whatever it is. You can see his left eye looking around, like "Hmm...maybe they won't notice me" lol!
And yeah, in a couple of the pics he looks a little thin-his ribs show a little bit, but he doesn't look starved or anything. He could use some weight, but not a ton.

Bandit and Dixie are so pretty!!! i think bandit looks a little skinny. i ride horses that are a bit heavier and they are considered a good weight. so, to me he only looks a little skinny.

Aw they look so cute! My fav is the 3rd one of Bandit - he's flying! LOL!

He doesn't look too skinny. Looks about the same as Dinah. She always looks skinny this time of year. I wouldn't worry about it, maybe just give him a little extra and see if it helps.

thanks guys. I was thinking maybe it's because he's shedding his winter coat...I just get so worrysome over him...it's bad. LOL.
