[QUOTE="TB lady, post: 143750, member: 2757"] hi, you got some excellent advice from everbody else, but I thought I might be able to help out a little also. First every boby says that you have to soak beet pulp, the thing is is that you dont have to if it is just as safe if feed dry and most horses like it better dry, but in your case you might have to feed it soaked since your guy has not many teeth. Also I would recommened linseed oil or ground flaxseeds instead of corn oil. Corn is high in Omega-6 fatty acids which are not good hor the joints, Flax and linseed oil are very high in fat and very high in Omega-3 fatty acids which would be excellent for him. Currently I'am feeding senior feed and it is working great also another way to get fat in him is to feed plain canola oil up to 2 cups per day introduced very slowly. I hope this helps out, aslo there is a great forum you can got to and get all your question answered by a equine nutritionist [url=http://www.gettynutrition.com]http://www.gettynutrition.com[/url] Ithink that is right I have her site bookmarked. hope it helps and good luck Jenn :D [/QUOTE]
