[QUOTE="horseygirl1807, post: 633571, member: 9806"] We purchased a 16 1/2 year old horse named Socks she just now turned 17. She is an American Saddlebred an we ave had her for about 6 months so she has had time to adjust. She wasnt underweight when we purchased her but has steadily dropped weight and we have no Idea why. We use close to the same grain she was fed and she gets 2scoops in the morning and 2 at night. This has not helped her with gaining any weight at all. her back bone from her withers to her croupe jutts out, :frowns: her hips are very prominent and you can easily feel her ribbs. I am very concerned by this not only for her health but by how she looks. Our other 2 horses are a little overweight but not by much. They are fed seperately to ensure that each horse eats his own and not anyone elses food. We have tried Omegatin, Weight boosters, corn oil, beet pulp. None of these have helped so far. Her teeth were floated 3mos ago. I dont know what else to do ive tried almost everything. She seems healthy shiny coat and is very active. Any advice would be appreciated greatly. Sarah [/QUOTE]
