Hows tara looking ?

[horseygirl123]

Heres a picture i took of tara today (before work)
Just wondered if anyone would be so kind as to give me their opinion on how you think she is looking?
Is there anything that i could work on to build her up anywhere better?

She's the wrong way round!!!

*roof throws toys out of the pram cause she can't see tara's mane*

She looks good, i like her weight :) her backside could do with being a bit rounder if i was being picky.

is that a rub from her saddle at her withers?:o

Yes it is old white hair, it came through with her winter coat, saddler said it would have been from ill fitting tack last year :mad:

Ok just for you, heres a pic of her the 'right way round' !!

How can i 'make' her ass rounder :p

poor girl- i know how that feels, have just pulled my second grey hair out :(

her mane is looking lovely, she looks so much prettier with hair!

as for the ass - hill work, plenty of 'proper' work, hacking in an outline, long purposeful walking hacks...hmmm dunno what else its been years since i actually sat on my skinny-assed beastie! :rolleyes:

She is looking great! :) I think her bum actually looks pretty nice, but little work wouldn't hurt anyone! :D

Like Roofio said, hill work, working in a proper outline, transitions from trot to stop back to trot (or if you can, from canter to stop to canter too) and momentary collections, i.e. trotting normally then collecting the trot so that tempo stayes the same but the horse is stepping shorter strides and collects it's hind end under, the releasing it back to normal trot (can also be done at canter). These all help build up the bum!

But she is really looking good already, so I think you'd be fine doing what you have been doing so far too! :)

Thanks :D
shes not a bad mare! working her long and low in a working trot hels with muscle tone and a good strong crest...Transitions will help with muscle tone on the hind quarters, bending, grid work. Also hill work!! trot and walk and canter up hills to build muscle strength and fitness!

You need to come visit me :p some regular work up some BIG hills will help her bum muscles especially if you collect as you go. She's looking in good nick though :)
