[QUOTE="VCC, post: 847855, member: 6399"] Get her on a good finishing ration, start out at 4 pounds a feeding 2 twice a day or go with feeding 3 pounds, 3 times a day,(6am, noon, and 6 pm) then start working her up by adding a half a pound to a pound a feeding every couple of days. If she starts getting to loose back off for a day or to and then continue adding feed to her ration. It should take about 2 weeks to get her up to full feed. Make sure she has access to plenty of hay as well. Give her some probiotics as you are doing this just to help keep her guts right. I would also start her on 2 to 3 pounds of stabilized rice bran a day, this will help put a smooth layer of fat down and it is much easier on their stomach than allot of the oils and corn. Stabilized Rice Bran is a supplement for horses, full of energy and vitamins, we have fed it for the last 4 years, it has definitely helped get cover on them, but it also seems to lay it down smooth. Make sure it is Stabilized, the plain Rice Bran breaks down much faster and you will not get the same results from it. [/QUOTE]
