    Too fat on basically air?!?

    Yes it was normal last time The weight came from a horse scale at the vet. The height is the last hair like you said. I use the slow feed hay nets. I'll try to find a hanging scale thanks!

    Okay these are all SUPER helpful responses. I guess I thought I was already starving him. I'm afraid with less hay he'll go without forage for hours and chance getting ulcers. How much of the ration balancer and what brand? How much hay and what do you weigh it with? He's 366 pounds per the...

    I need some help here. We've been struggling with skin allergies for about 5 years but they are not getting better. I took him to the University of Tennessee for skin allergies testing. After 65 test spots only 2 came back - lanolin and gnats. I avoid any sprays and have added a fan to his room...
