We have a friend who has a similar old gelding and we are in competition to see who can fatten the horse fastest :) He is doing so much better than me... but doing so much. I want to do one thing at a time so I know which one is doing the job. I am doing weight builder and strategy now, with not much success except he is shiney, feels better and is not colicky anymore knock on wood. Our friends horse is on ultium, a pound twice a day added to equine senior. He has put on about fifty pounds this month. When the weight builder runs out i am going to feed the same amount of strategy and add ultium. But isnt a pound twice a day a lot?? Most people say they just add a little scoop or two?? I have tried beet pulp and strategy, no weight gain. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
