Extreme Veteran Posts: 338 Location: NE TX	15 y/o gelding who hasn’t always ever really had that jaw dropping full topline dropped about 40lbs in his topline in about 2 months. He’s on pasture and gets alfalfa at feed time and is on bluebonnet omega force and DAC oil. Any ideas how to build the topline? He isn’t skinny at all, just need to build topline? Hasn’t been ridden since first weekend of June. Friend thinks maybe treat for EPM? Edited by Flamin10 2018-06-25 3:48 PM

Like a lot lol. 1 step forward= 2steps back. Within reason of course but it will strengthen their whole back and hindend creating more power and help prevent soreness issues down the road. I've seen it alone transform horses backs. Its a main focus in my conditioning and helps my guy a bunch who has a long back and tends to get strung out. Hope this helps! :)
