This message is from: Cynthia Madden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have had to put weight on two horses in the last year. The most recent horse is my boarding horse, Nigel, the Arab/Fjord. I have found that beet pulp (1lb. am and pm) plus a high fat pellet feed (I am using an endurance blend which is lower in protein and higher in fat) puts good weight on fairly quickly. I would start by adding two pounds per feeding to the beet pulp and reduce it when they have gained enough weight. I maintain my Morgan with 1 lb beet pulp and 1 lb endurance feed per feeding and he is doing great. Tank, who never gets too thin, gets only 8 oz. beet pulp each feeding mostly to keep him from beating down his fence while the others eat.
You might also want to have the horse checked for thyroid problems. ===== Cynthia Madden Las Cruces, NM [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo! Games - play chess, backgammon, pool and more http://games.yahoo.com/
