Not bad for 26 yrs old....

Oh man....thanks everyone so much. He was my teacher, believe it or not. OTTB with no professional training (either one of us). We just kinda got through things by the seats of our britches. Any wrecks we had were TOTALLY pilot error.

He is my heart.

He looks amazing! Wow, you should email a picture of him now to the people who "couldn't keep weight on and old horse" You have done an incredible job bringing him back to the picture of health that he is. Congrats and may you have many more years with your beautiful boy.

He looks fabulous! My Scout is in his 20's and I can't seem to get his feed right. I might just switch him to senior feed. He's got Cushings, so I'm concerned about too much sugar in his diet because of the possibility of laminitis.

You've done a great job with your old guy. Keep it up!
