He wouldn't stop eating those dead pieces of grass and sticks, sigh.

Well, footing like that will definitely strengthen his hind legs!

He's a cutie as is Ren and I like your choice of music.

I know you said in the other photo post that you'd been driving him for two years now but it looks like he's still pretty unmuscled so I'd treat him as a complete green horse as far as his conditioning program goes. The best thing for him is simply time in the cart at this point...the act of pulling will strengthen and broaden his chest as long as you aren't letting him do it with his back hollowed out and his head up in the air. He doesn't have to have a headset (headset is a by-product of proper carriage, not the goal) but he should be moving through his back to build proper muscle. Let him get his head down and encourage him to track up and have good energy at all times. That's the most important thing! The rest all follows from that.
