This message is from: Kelly Trirogoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello list;
We have finally moved my fjord, Skovy, home. Upon arrive home we discovered that Skovy does not like to be alone, and had to quickly aquire another horse. Luckily there was free one one in the paper. Now our new fjord (I had get another one of course) is deffinetly a senior citizen (deffinetly over 20). It is believed that he came from the Narnia lines here in BC, the previous owner said he was a stud at one point but i doubt it. Anyways, I have had him about 5 days, and I don't know much about keeping the oldies...He is having a hard time keeping/gaining weight. He is getting a ton of food, and it may be helping (just slow). He gets senior pellets, complete pellets, beet pulp, oil, alfalfa cubes and regular 1st cut hay. Plus the occassionl graze on the lawn. I don't give him ton, as I am increasing the amounts so I don't shock his system. Now Andy (Narnia fjords Andros???aka "Grandpa") is too thin for my liking he is probably a 3 on the body rating. His pelvis protrudes, his ribs are just slightly visible and his mane won't stay up as the weight of his hair too much( it just flops over). I know this guy will probably never look like his plump former self again, but I want to make sure he is comfortable for the coming years. He has had his teeth done and was just wormed. Any suggestions on keeping the older guys would be appreciated.
