Shetland Ponies!

So, I was trying to figure out if Pete has lost any weight, now that he is dry lotted. But, I can't really tell what a Shetland should look like, as in when they are not fat. So I found a few online at Dreamhorse.com...

OMG! Aren't they cute little stinkers? (No pot bellies, I notice...)
So, as further reference, here is a picture of my friend Susan's Shetland Snowflake (aka Snowshit) :) Busted! He has a bit of a belly, eh? Ha-ha! He is so cute though! (They clean up in lead line classes at the local shows.)
Sooo...
Here is Pete at his fattest (from the pictures I have...) Gah! Look at that gut! (He is also super furry...)
And here is Pete as of recent... (Muddy Mess!)
BUT, I do think he looks a bit skinner, eh? :D
Here is a comparison from the front... Not the best pictures to compare, but I think his belly doesn't stick out to the sides as far...

Good grief, he really isn't a little troll, here are better pictures of him...
Winter fuzzy cuteness... Over the shoulder cuteness... Cutie Bootie...
Okay, I will stop now. :) BUT, I DO think he is skinnier! Yay!

Dang! I never would have thought that black was even a pony!

Pretty... so is the grey and so is the pinto being shown (though if her saddle was any higher she'd be in danger of actually sitting ON the pony's ears, lol)...

Poor Petey still has some weight to go before he can be proclaimed as xexay as that black one! :)

You're so funny! Poor Petey, he has a long way to go before he would look like any of the above.
:( The neighbor's damn stud horse kicked the crap out of Pete and he still has hematomas along the underside of his neck, causing a really lumpy appearance (slightly visable in the muddy pic...) My poor baby... :)
