This little guy has almost no topline (although more than when we started!) and I’m wondering if anyone has tips for building his topline! We’re working on correct use of his body, so even just working in a correct frame will help, but I’m looking for exercises and things like that! :)

Use pole work and cavalletti, and make sure he is taking correct contact and using his hind end. You want the push power from the haunches, not the pull from the forehand. Ride up hills too if you can, the slope will make him use his haunches more. LOTS of transitions and do lateral work to help get his balance off the forehand

@AnjaC Yes! I definitely need to work on this! It’s been tricky to get him strong enough to move at all, but we’ll definitely work towards it!! 💕
