about a 4, could still do with a little extra weight
in my expert opinion that horse is on the crack rock
a 7
he looks quite thin at the start but i dnt no much bout horses
beautiful horse, i would say a 6, keep up the good work
I'd say around 5/6, well done for getting him like that in a short amount of time, you've done well if he was like a skeleton.
Btw he is gorgeous, I'm jealous!

He looks great. His weight looks fine too, I would give him a 3-4. Maybe an extra 50 lbs or so but it depends on what your going to do with him. An eventing horse you want a tad on the thinner side but a backyard pleasure horse, then is your eye appeal if you want to add more weight to him or not. But if he was as thin as you say he was, then you have done a great job.

good looking horse and i think its 6
Your horse looks healthy, which is the most important thing. I'd rate him at 5. Although I personally would prefer him to be a little bit fatter.
Concentrate on feeding hay that is of highest quality. Add some alfalfa hay to the horse’s diet (5 or 6 extra pounds). This adds 300 calories per pound to the horse’s feed! Using high fat feed is another way of adding calories. Conditioning chaff as well as rice bran can be added to your food regimen to help the animal take in some more calories.
Keep a close eye on the horse’s weight by scale once a month. This will help you to realize if something you are doing is working, and to maintain the weight gain.
I hope this will help. Good luck. :)

for a tb i would say he's a 3 or 4.
however, he does need more muscle now rather than more fat. especially along his back. i think once he starts to muscle up a bit he will look much better. but in terms of 'fat' i think he's fine. he looks a bit skinny because he lacks muscle tone now, not because he is too thin.
