[color="Navy"] ]Hey, I own a 12.2hh pony, who has a problem with keeping on weight in the winter, most hosres and ponies lose there condition, but he is really bad. He goes of hay, hayige, most hard feeds. Hes SO paculiar. The only feeds he likes are: Happy hoof (chaff), competion mix. If he doesnt like it he'll just sive through it and eat the stuff he likes. I really want to hunt him this season, but i have no chance, if he drops his weight. I was just wondering if anyone knew a lotion or potion i could but on him, in his feed, or somthing. Thanks please reply with any ideas Mia xxx[/COLOR |

Re: Weight Loss Problem.
I'd be quite worried if any of mine went off food completely.
Have you tried adding sugarbeet? It may be worth using a probiotic or a feedbalancer such as Blue chip or Topspec so then you don't have a large amount of food for him to eat but you know he is getting it and then bulk the rest of his feed out with a chaff that he likes and both hay and haylage. You could also try Readigrass, I've yet to come across a horse that won't eat that! ![]() |
