Maybe. I don't know how much 'latitude' there is between good and perfect.
The biggest project may start soon

I've been leaning on her for awhile, but from the ground.
Then did several leans from a bucket.
Got into a pony huddle for a bit...
Some more bucket leaning.
Then first moment of full weight on her!
Her relaxed back height...
Her back height once engaging muscles.
First semi hop to a lean.
Laying for 2 seconds.
Oh, she is humpy & wants to kick if you try to lean on her offside.

Yeah, besides scaring me crapless when I work on her offside, lol, she's great.
Seemed like she was telling me to get on already, hah.
I noticed lumps yesterday that look like they're from saddle on her shoulders.
Chatting with RodNickle about it, since I remember reading his website about this in the past.

This is why the saddle goes BEHIND the scapula, not on it!
And I wonder if that was part of her problem in the past.
And the new rasp arrived! Sucker gots teeth!!

Stand came in!
Reviews said the magnets suck, but mine seem to be able to hold the other attachment and my new rasp w/o issue.

New rasp is okay for minis, but doesn't remove enough hoof at a time.
First arrival & today.
She has SO MANY things going on with each of her hooves all at once that I don't always see it until I'm reviewing pictures.
And here's the mark/scar on her nose that isn't photogenic.
Lastly, her foot scar, by my thumb & it goes around. There's a lump above it, too, you can see it.

She has picked up some condition since you got her - she's looking great! Good job with her!

Quick scritch.
Almost all the way up...
