[RC] Sluggish mare - Ridecamp Guest
Roseann aramuse@xxxxxxx
A friend of mine has a 6 year old Swedish WB mare that is very very sluggish. Getting her to go forward is alot of work, and the gal is getting very frustrated. I suggested doing a blood workup, which she will do this coming week.
She feeds her 1/3 alfalfa and 2/3 barley oat hay. Select II vitamins and a supplement of oats (3 scoops). I've ridden the mare, and yeah, she's not an easy one to get going.
Skin, coat are healthy. Weight is good. Regularly dewormed etc. The mare is well cared for. But I am telling you she walks on a long rein as if she's gonna lay down and go to sleep.
Any other ideas or suggestions...I ask here because I know ya'll are very very into nutrition more than most.
