Instructions
Feed your horse a healthy, balanced diet that is high in protein. A good equine diet should include a variety of amino acids, minerals and vitamins. Alfalfa is an excellent dietary choice for building muscles in the topline.
Place your horse's feed on the ground instead of in a feed bag. This forces your horse to stretch its neck and back muscles while eating, promoting a strong topline.
Ride your horse regularly, incorporating exercises that require him to walk backward. Walking backward forces your horse to work topline muscles that are generally not used in regular riding. The beneficial effects are further magnified if your horse lowers its head while moving backward.
