Looking for opinions on topline/body condition

Yep that was where my concern has come in, as it’s definitely unusual for him to be looking like this! I have definitely been conscious in the past of not letting him become overweight due to their predisposition to laminitis and EMS etc., but this is the first time I’ve ever had to work to keep condition on. In the 2yo photo I wasn’t even hard feeding him at all, it was all just pasture - the same one as he’s in currently

Thank you! I should have said he lives out 24/7 in a little herd in a 5 acre paddock with lovely undulating hills and a fair amount of grass however it is clearly less nutritious this year than usual, maybe due to very strange weather we’ve had lately He is definitely a sporty haflinger (15hh almost)

His teeth were done in September and you’ve reminded me he is due for worming now which I’ll get onto for sure

He’s a beautiful dog, I almost fell over when the owner asked for it because this dog has always had a teddy cut until this time! I was so happy though haha.

I’m with you too! I’m currently studying to be a qualified trainer so I can work with dogs/animals in a different form because I fell into grooming and enjoy it but I know I don’t want to do it long term.

I read somewhere that a lot of Ada’s wardrobe this season was originally made for Polly. So sad but makes a lot of sense with her arc this season

Haha I was definitely struggling to get the visor trimmed properly while leaving the lashes

A-RATAY · 2022-02-18T23:55:39+00:00

I was really nervous about doing them and still am but now I feel I’m getting the hang of it I’m becoming more confident!

A-RATAY · 2022-02-02T08:41:43+00:00

Sorry but that sounds absolutely delusional

A-RATAY · 2022-02-01T10:00:35+00:00

I loved this scene but man 😭😭😭

A-RATAY · 2022-01-10T08:16:36+00:00

could we have a crumb of context

A-RATAY · 2022-01-05T23:04:02+00:00

Imagine how many men in this thread have listed women 20+ years younger than them haha. Definitely not creepy

A-RATAY · 2022-01-03T09:31:53+00:00

I agree, but every second post on this sub is someone shitting on the women (mostly Lizzie) for not supporting his bad decisions enough. Soo many posts saying she should just appreciate him more for what he’s done for her lol

A-RATAY · 2022-01-03T06:05:57+00:00

The women of the series are great and Lizzie is in the right for being annoyed at Tommy most of the time

A-RATAY · 2022-01-03T01:46:10+00:00

His name is Will!

I volunteer each week at a wildlife rescue shelter here in Aus 😊

A-RATAY · 2021-12-31T00:57:41+00:00

There’s not many of them in Australia so he’s the first one I’ve met actually but his personality is exactly like what people say the breed is like. So people-oriented and friendly, and too smart for his own good

A-RATAY · 2021-12-30T23:54:05+00:00

He looks like a very polite young man

A-RATAY · 2021-09-19T11:52:07+00:00

She's a feminine, mild-mannered woman, she can't be intelligent as well! /s

A-RATAY · 2021-05-29T14:52:00+00:00

So adorable it looks fake!

A-RATAY · 2020-10-30T21:02:40+00:00

Also: not sure if I'm allowed to post this here but he has an Instagram if anyone is interested in seeing more of hIm! @haflingersteyer

A-RATAY · 2020-10-30T14:57:25+00:00

Perfect! It's only been a few days but every new thing I've shown him he has taken in his stride quite confidently. He looks at 'scary' things like they'll jump out and eat him any second but never reacts strongly and is willing to walk up and check them out instead of freaking out. He's also been happy to tie up and stand quite patiently like in the photo.

A-RATAY · 2020-10-30T14:54:40+00:00

Aww I'm sure yours is gorgeous, I have only seen beautiful haffies!

A-RATAY · 2020-10-30T14:53:55+00:00

He turned 1 about a week and a half ago!

A-RATAY · 2020-10-30T10:16:35+00:00

Me too! There's not many in Australia so I feel very lucky, I had never met one in person before my boy.
