I've been trying to do a lot of reading on what to feed a horse who is
overweight, but still needs to eat something to get some supplements down
him...
I have a new horse is large. He needs something for supper when everyone
else eats so that he doesn't feel deprived. He has some supplements I want him
to eat. I'm not sure if I can feed him a little soaked beet pulp and that's
all? or if I should feed him something low cal like horse chow 100 and still
make a bit of a mash out of it? He might eat the supplements without
water...not sure. I've been told the BP will make him fatter, but then others
say it's almost like feeding hay. I think that he'll eat it straight or eat it
with a little something added to it for flavor. My other easy keeper just eats
half scoop of senior. Is that appopriate? The new horse isn't a senior, but
I"ve fed it to my mare who's not a senior either...or did until I discovered
ultium.
He's not in work at the moment. he's been off and will be brought back
slowly.
I know there will be differing opinions, but I"d like to hear them.
Thanks.
