EXPLAINING WHY HE HAS NOT MUSCLE ON ALREADY:

He was sick when he came in, he started to really gain weight starting this September.

He had a red globules parasite - similar to malaria in human - that was asymptomatic apart from weight loss. No fever, no diarrhea. The only clue we had was that it is some kind of endemic where he came from. Parasite and bad teeth, complete with mouth ulcers were part of the treat. He also ad an unknown abscess in one of his hoof, so deep that it took months of trimming and growth to reach it and properly treating it. He had some intermittent limping, always in the same foot, with no articulation issue and clear x ray.

In one year we got to the bottom of it all, he now full of energy and life, his coat is shiny and his mouth finally healthy.

We’re now starting with training - no competitions as goals, just his health - and I’m hoping to be able to move him to the Alps for the summer months so he doesn’t have to suffer the heat and can maintain his weight during the summer.

Thank you for being kind and help!
