^ He is not slighty "ewe necked", nor does he have a pointy "butt." ;)

Overall, he has decent confo. What he does have issues with is muscling, not confo.
He does have quite alot of underneck muscle on his neck, due to him being consistently worked above the bit.
He's a bit camped out with his hindlegs, due to being ridden on the forehand and strung out.
He's a tad downhill.
He has wasted chest muscle.
He has a bit of pointy buttock, which has to do with the pelvis bone.
He has a poverty line in his hindquarters.

That's all I got. =)

Thanks! I have been riding on his forehand and im working on getting him on his haunches constantly. Here is another pic from monday. Its most recent.
Also, when you say above the bit. Do you mean below the vertical?

Also, what is a good exersice for working his chest muscles?

When I say above the bit, I mean being ridden on the forehand with his nose "poking" out so to speak. Riding him a frame will help with all his muscles problems, if done properly. Which will take a while to reverse his muscle memory and get him round and working from his hind end, so introduce it gradually.
