We purchased a pregnant mare (full sized horse) and she is a little thin-you can see slight definition of ribs and her hips bones are a little prominent. She had a foal in May though and I know my minis lose the roundness in their rumps for awhile after delivery, but I would like to see her filled out a little more especially for winter and the fact that she was bred back. Besides a good grain and hay regimen, what else can I do?
I hear people talking about a beet pulp, alfalfa and oil mixture-what ratio and what kind of oil? I have also heard of people adding oil to their grain-again, what kind, how much, how often? Also, I just purchased a weight builder supplement (maybe Farnam?-green and white tub-can't remember for sure) that we put in her grain-any thoughts on that or any good results?
Need something good and reasonably priced...if that exists.
Thanks so much!
