Muscle Building??

My arabian horse(bred to work cows)is just NOT building ANY muscle. I have been working the SNOT out of her and there is no progress. She is fed very well and has the best care possible for a horse.... any tips to build some muscle??
thanks,
becca
I round my horse when i am working her... also i work her up hills pulling a 20-30 pound log (mostly for roping practice). Do you think that will work any muscles? I want her to get a big butt like how there are those 2 Big Muscles on each sode of there butt... most of my other horses are born with it but she ..... an oddball adn its frustraiting

Hi Becca,

Sounds like you have been working your mare! Good for you. I am with you on this one, and I went back and looked at the photo you posted on the other question, with the photo of her hip....

She has a nice looking hip in the photo, but YES some horses a born with GREAT big hips!

Our head horse has a huge muscly butt and hip with the definition lines in them.... Our heal horse is built much leaner and will get the lines, but NOT grow a large hip.

Working you mare on hills for long periods of time (without pulling something) will build and condition her muscles. We generally ride for 4-6 hours at a time out on our trails here (but we live in the mountains)... Of course you have to work up the conditioning and stamina of the horse.

KEEP up the work, muscles take a while to define, you won't see them too quickly...
