Hello! I apologise in advance for the long post ;) This is my beloved rescue, his name is "Spanner" due to the shape of the marking on his head. He's a 6 year old gelding but due to him being a rescue, his breed is unknown. When I first got him he had no muscle what-so-ever. None. I don't know how he managed to hold his head up. I was told he had big head syndrome and dwarfism so therefore his head was way to large for his body. This is What it looked like:Image: https://i.imgur.com/pjzc64g.png As you can see it is quite hollowed out and lacking in any muscle or definition. But I started working with him, I got him some good feed and did a lot of ground work with him and he started to develop more muscle in his body but still practically nothing in his neck. Once I solved all his other issues like bolting, hot temperedness, bucking and aggression I started working on his vertical flexion, and voila! He no longer had a head to big for his body! Bazinga, his 'Big Head Sydnrome' magically disappeared. These are some of my most recent photos of him:Image: https://i.imgur.com/CDiKDUo.jpg Image: https://i.imgur.com/mckx6n6.png Image: https://i.imgur.com/hYbghy9.jpg This is a fairly old side-by-side as you can see the "new" picture which is on the right is with his summer coat, it is now winter.Image: https://i.imgur.com/Lu2bs40.jpg I'm wanting an opinion, is there much room for improvement? And What are your methods of developing a horse's topline? :)Thanks!
