[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 747513, member: 6897"] Since you don't really know all that much about her history I'd probably begin with a visit to the vet, let him check her over from head to toe, check teeth, draw blood, worm her, etc and get his feedback. AND as SpinandSlide said put her on the best grass hay you can find. Alls she can eat. Avoid grain as much as possible. There are some good Senior Horse feeds out there but most that are simply pelleted are nothing more than junk being advertised as "soft pellets". The better senior horse feeds will have a high protein pellet, a small amount of corn, a small amount of soybean hulls and a lot of dried beet pulp....very palatable, very nutritious and easily digested. The Omolene Product is one...another is TDI Senior.( [url=http://www.tdihorsefeeds.com]www.tdihorsefeeds.com[/url] ) No junk, no fillers and always the same every bag. And any feed you feed from a bag weigh it out...don't guess at "scoops". These feeds will cost a little more but are well worth the money. If you can't find them look for one of the "Low Starch" horse feeds...just make sure the fiber in the feed comes from soybean hulls and/or beet pulp and not "filler" products. [/QUOTE]
