[RC] Suggestions for feeding 7 month filly - Lysane Cree
Hi all,
Well, today was my birthday and to my surprise I received a 7 month old Paint filly as a gift. She is still at the breeder's right now, she will be delivered on January 3. Gives me a little time to get ready for her and she needs to be weaned. Right now she is eating hay and 13% Omolene. At the barn where I will board her, it is all adult horses and they eat hay (grass) as well as a combination of Omolene, alfalfa hay cubes, and a little bran. I don't want to change her diet drastically, but would a complete feed for young horses be better? The feed place where I go carries Purina brands, so I am sure they have a complete feed for young horses. What I'm wondering is how long should she be fed as a "young" horse rather than an adult horse? and what are the best options? I just want to grow a healthy horse that can eventually do competitive trail and endurance if she is up to it, not a heavy-duty, bulked up halter horse. :) I've only ever had to feed adult horses, this is my first baby, so I am all worried abo
ut feeding her right.
