I bought a Arab. that had
been abused, (500lbs. underwieght, saddle sores ex.), about 2 yrs. ago. This
is
my 1st Arabian, always had Quarter or
Walkers.
He is 12yrs in great shape,
teeth done, wormed,
Very healthy. My ??, well he has big rear quarters,
allot
thinner in chest, also A very high wither, & I
can not seem
to get his vertebrae fully covered on his back. He
is not skinny. We trot all the time , average speed 6 to 7 miles
per hour. Sometimes much faster trot, hardly
walk,or lope at all, (maybe once a month in training). I usually ride him
2 to 4 hours, about 4 times a week. I have been
riding him this way for about a year now. How do I get muscle on his back &
chest?? Or is this normal for Arabs, in endurance?
THANKS,
Diane & Brazz
