I just adopted an amazing 16 year old TB gelding, but he's in rough shape right now. There is an amazing horse in there, he just doesn't look so hot.
Besides being a bit under weight and needing to get in condition and build some muscle, he's cut, scraped, has bite marks, bald patches, a little bit of rain rot, a thin mane and tail. His hooves are good, he's barefoot. He was lowest on the pecking order in the field and got the crap beat out of him by the other horses.
He's was being schooled 3 days per week and he's got 2nd and 3rd level dressage training. I just longed him a bit and he did lovely, he's such a nice mover with a beautiful floaty trot. He's also HUGE, like 17.1 at least.
Any advice for conditioning him, putting weight on, treating his skin and wounds as well as re-growing hair and getting his thin mane and tail thicker would be appreciated! basically this guy just needs a total makeover so that he looks as amazing as he behaves!
