I have been reading posts on all the different feeds and such everyone uses for their horses.
I am wanting to get my yearling in shape to go to some local shows. As a weanling he always had a belly, but after the grass came back in this year and we had him gelded his belly is not quite as large. He still has some work to get into show shape though.
This is him last week after his first rough clipping. He was afraid of the clippers so it was a very quick job and I didn't worry about getting it even. I just got all the fuzz that hadn't shed out yet. Don't laugh lol.
I currently feed him a little less then 2 cups of Omolene 300 a day, plus a small amount of soaked shredded beet pulp and he has 5-6 hours of grazing time in the pasture each day. I do not work him but he does have two exercise balls in his pen with him when he is not out in the pasture and plays with them each day.
I live in central NC (right outside the Raleigh area) and I have access to several different popular feeds. I did use the Equine Jr and was not happy so he has been on Omolene 300 since.
Does anyone have any recommendations on a good feed and how to get him in show shape from how he is now? And if anyone is in my region that has a feed they recommend I would really appreciate it!
