I saw a friends small yearling colt(27 " or so) today for the first time and I need your opinions.... She has not had him long and he is slightly pot bellied and kind of unthrify looking, she did say he had gained a little weight but she also did not think he was looking as he should, she has one other mini and a big horse, both are fat and healthy. She is feeding everyone Safechoice. She is feeding the little guy 1/4 cup alfalfa pellets 2x a day and 1 cup of the Safechoice 2 x a day, The first thing I said was to switch him to a junior feed and add some beet pulp... Of course she knows to go slow and carefully. I don't think he is getting enough calories???? I said to work him up double on his grain and see how he does. And he has been wormed, that was the first thing she did, he has been seen by the vet but I don"t know what he said and it was right after she got him... I told her I would ask the Forum their thoughts???
