[RC] Reducing the waistline - rides2farWell Susan, since you are a mere shadow of your old self, maybe 7 can get some advice from you. :-) To reduce the bloat. I have Orchard Grass, Coastal & Alfalfa. Should he get all grass hay for lower calories or grass/alfalfa for calories with less bulk? Right now he gets about a cup and a half of Omalene 100 (so he won't feel left out) a flake of alfalfa and a flake of orchard grass morning & evening. He *got* his belly this summer when I kept coastal in front of him every minute of every day. I was looking over a half door at him monitoring the covering of his spine with meat...should have opened the door and focused my eyes on the belly! Rode him again today and just love him. He's confident, no foolishness, brisk walk and willing to lead. No hint of buck (knock wood) at walk or trot ridden or when ponied at a gallop. Sweet, cute, just a good personality. Didn't even spook when I rode him on a rediculously windy day!!! So far this experiment with starting a 7 year old says it's a good thing.
