Are there any supplements that assist in maintaining topline and filling out withers that have graduated to being a shark fin?
21 year old Appendix QH, who has more TB than QH.  Has had some atrophy for lousy saddle fit, but his withers have really started to sharkfin and he's getting bony through his spine. 
Here is a pic as a 4yo from when we purchased him, to now at 21.

Weell, I have to say, and I am sure you are sick of hearing it but, Cur-Ost supplements are what brought back my gelding's topline. I had some success with just adding some alfalfa to his diet, but when I started the Cur-Ost, he now has a better topline than I thought he could given his conformation. Where he really has improved above what I thought he could is over the croup. I just thought he would not fill in there until I could get him in top shape. However, he is filedl out there now and I have just started riding him again. It happened before I started to leg him up and I do leg up one slowly.

I guess I should mention, he's on Sr. Feed, gets mostly alfalfa hay with a little grass.  Minimal grass in lot.  He's also on the level 1 combo supplement for joints, skin, hair, hooves, and gut from Smart Pak.
