I have been trying to make my horses fat because I am going to have a surgery. In June, when I almost died my sister-in-law fed the horses and I am sure that there were days that the horses didn't get fed either a breakfast or dinner. One or the other. One of my mares, had her hip bones sticking out. My sister-in-law tries but she isn't a farm girl. With winter comming if I make the horses fat before I go to the hospital they won't be so thin when I get home. I am feeding 2 flakes of grass/alfalfa hay twice a day for 4 horses. Then in the evening they each get 2 cups (dry) of beet pulp with 4 cups of water (soaked), 2 cups of safe choice and 1 cup of C.O.B. As it begins to get colder I am switching to strait Alfalfa hay. I want them to be able to keep warm. I also don't want to feel any bones when I touch my horses.
