As some of you may recall I lost a mare this spring shortly after she delivered a little bay filly. Now the filly did great, was bottle/pan fed until 4.5 months and then weaned. She is being fed free choice alfafa/grass mix hay (about 30% alfalfa) as well as free choice minerals and a salt block (she does use both) When she was still on grass she developed a tummy and I never worried about it assuming she would loose it once she went onto the higher protein hay. However, that has not happened, in fact she looks like she swallowed a basket ball. She is not wormy (I worm her monthly) and the hay she is eating is not coarse. I am planning to add some grains to her diet but wanted to get some input from everyone here on what would be most likely to fill the obvious gap in her diet. Any suggestions?
