What a difference a year makes!
This is Miss Chinook when we got her a year ago...
Scrawny, upside-down neck, no rear end at all, weak topline with no muscle, and a belly that looked like she was due sometime soon. I got a comment the other day about her improvement in both looks and attitude. She is on an awesome feed program, along with a good exercise program, and look at the difference a year makes...(excuse the grainyness, it was taken in the indoor)
She's got an awesome, strong, flexible neck now, she's developing a cute little butt, and her topline is much improved, both from regular exercise and a well-fitting saddle.
It's actually kind of amazing the difference that a year can make.
I owe a lot of her progress to my awesome barn, and the amazing managers who treat every horse there like their own. I also have to give credit to my amazing instuctor who is teaching the both of us French Classical dressage.
Just because this whole post is a brag about Miss Chinook, here's a few more pictures of my beautiful, sweet, unbelievably unphotogenic mare!
I loff my sweet mare!
