[RC] Horse wieght-loss diet help needed - Wendy Mancini
> What can I use to help get his weight under control for
more = aggressive conditioning?
I agree with
Heidi, don't change diet. The weight will come off as you increase
exercise.
My guy was fat,
cresty neck, couldn't feel ribs, deep gutter on butt. I fed him only
hay the first year & he was on trail 2-3 times a week, walk - canter, 5-10
mi. each. He came down a little. Then I started conditioning
for endurance, a little more weight off. Once we started doing 50s, it
started to melt & I started increasing feed (grain, beetpulp, even fat) to
maintain at just perfect. When he finished his season he still had a good
condition score & now it's all muscle.
