How do you think shes coming along?

Purplehayze · 10-24-2004, 05:54 PM

Heres is Bopp, my 6 and a half year old Arab mare. Recently I've been trying to get her to lose weight, because she sat in a paddock for 6 months before i started riding her....so she was very fat and had a huge potbelly...she basically looked pregnant. heres a pic i took today compared to one of a month ago...how do you think shes coming along in the weight department?
1. a month ago
2 and 3. today

Basically ive noticed shes looking a lot healthier all around, shes getting more muscle tone and doesnt look so bored all the time.

Wow good job she looks a lot better. Her butt looks bigger and in the first picture I think her belly made her butt look small. She has muscles now too. Good job! How is she to ride?

shes awesome....quite a little fireplug! she has tons more energy now and is so good! shes a bit testy at the canter...she pops little bucks here and there, but otherwise shes great, were working at flying lead changes right now which she has caught on to right away. thanks for the comments
