Ridecamp: Re: [RC] [RC] SusanG / feeding a weanling

Hi Susan,

Would any of this change if the horses were hungry, thin youngsters?  I
bought two half-arabs from a drought/"no pasture left" sale yesterday, will
do the usual rescue-type protocol for feeding and worming.  Is there's
anything that can be done to mitigate previous lack of nutrition?  The
oldest is 2, thin, and should be at least a hand taller and 50-100 lbs.
heavier.  The yearling looks fairly normal.  Will the 2 year old stay small
or can they catch up?

Thanks!
Michelle
