Back, neck and hip exercises for horse coming out of neglect

We rescued a horse several months back that was severly underweight. Horse is in late teens age, almost looked sway backed... high withers of course due to lack weight... Horse is now gaining nicely but I notice that although it is gaining some weight along its back, its back and neck lack muscle tone and don't seem to keep the weight on... What types of exercise can I do to help get its back up and develop the long top neck muscle as well as some over its hips? I started it on cavaletti and we do stretching for treats.
