Trilla is underweight so they have me giving her 2 cups of 10% sweetfeed twice daily with her hay. How about feeding her more hay without the sweetfeed? Judy http://iceryder.net http://clickryder.com

And substitute an equal volume of dry beet pulp for the sweet feed. Remembering that most people soak beet pulp before feeding. My Hunter, the only one of the four that struggles to maintain weight gets beet pulp, rice bran pellets and LMF - all soaked - with chopped apples and carrots to make it seems like a treat. I have also added corn oil and B.O.S.S. in the past, but it's hard for me to imagine an Icelandic that would need that much supplemental feed. Ours are air ferns. Nancy

The other possibility with hard keepers is to make sure they also aren't carrying a large load of encysted strongyles (which aren't touched by routine wormings), which provide a continuous refresh of live worms, as well as impair the nutrition absorption of their gut. I've got a 26 year old mare at my place that was losing weight and condition, until we did a Panacur Purge worming (for encysted strongyles) on her. She started regaining the weight and kicking up her heels like a youngster! Lynn Kinsky, Santa Ynez, CA ranch: http://www.silcom.com/~lkinsky/

There was a recent study by UC Davis showing that horses gain weight fastest on six meals of alfalfa a day. There are several products now that add fat without adding sugars and carbs. Janice-- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
