This message is from: Paula Steinmetz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a question for the whole list. I would really appreciate the input here, because I am at a loss as to what to do next...
I have a "draft" type Fjord, six years old and just a "hair" under 14h. His problem: he is FAT. I just don't know how else to adjust his diet...We are in a boarding situation. He gets a "handful" and it is no more than a handful of Strategy -just to make him think he is not being left out when the others are fed their grain - and 2 flakes of hay a.m. and p.m. He is turned out all afternoon. I suggested putting him on the dry lot pasture because of his tendency to "pork up." He is worked twice a day - I am a dressage enthusiast. He is worked once by the trainer in the morning and by myself at night, each time for about an hour...He has been on this program for months and hasn't lost an ounce! I worry about founder, of course. What else can I do to get the weight off of him...?
