This little guy is so lucky to have such a loving owner who cares so much. I have a feeling we're all going to see him just bloom. I can't wait.

I think you will be surprised how much difference two weeks shows.

 

[chevycouple]

Yeah and I think you guys and my friend with the scale will notice the most. The record keeping on my part will help me notice better also.

This is a good learning experience! Thank you for posting the information, hopefully it will help others. Your little guy will be SO excited to get food! I've had some underweight horses, the change in energy is amazing... they go from so quiet and subdued to full of energy and fun! Enjoy your horse!

[SIZE=14pt]That is still only 6 cups aprox a day of nutrina feed.....he should get that much at least twice a day within the next couple of weeks. I personally think that much isnt enough. [/SIZE]

My yearling colt was getting 6 cups twice a day if 10%fat 10% protein feed with beet pulp ,and hay.

Lyn I agree that it's not enough but I am starting small to build up. I don't want to kill the poor guy like someone on here said if I feed to much to fast. And anyway he always has some left by the next feeding.

He is one lucky fellow. He has such a kind and gentle eye. Look forward to seeing his updates.
