He just turned 3 on April. 26/2009. Just because they look like this in their growth sprit doesn't mean they'll look like that in a few years. My horse has a long, thin neck too. Once I started lunging him a couple times a week it got thicker and wasn't so thin. Maybe a horse has "bad" conformation on the ground but is the most beautiful in the hunter ring ;) I own a 2 year old gelding that looks just like this. He just turned 3 on April. 26/2009.
