Re: [RC] [RC] Senior horse - PSaintjohn - A. Perez

Where he mine, I would have a basic check-up done (bloodwork,
teeth checked, fecal check for parasites).  Rule out any
obvious, treatable problems that might be causing the weight
loss.  If nothing turns up, and your horse is eating well and
seems happy, don't worry about it.  Blanket him in the cold
weather if needed to make up for the lost insulation.

My 'bellweather' as to when enough is enough is the apparent
happiness of the animal.  Most critters will lose interest in
food and friends when their 'time has come'.  As long as he
finishes his supper, and takes an interest in his buddies (human
and otherwise), I'd assume he wants to stick around.
