[QUOTE="fourwinds, post: 231310, member: 3274"] the old saying about ask 100 horse people get 100 answers was never more true than when it comes to feeding. I'd bet the shoulder heals just fine. Personally I would rather see a youngster with a bit less flesh than some like, if he is healthy looking like yours. Hate to see youngsters so fat they can hardly waddle. I've tried lots of different feeds and have settled on oats and alfalfa pellets. I feed equal volume not weight. My horses are all out on good pasture and I would quit feeding grain at all for the summer except I have a mare and suckling colt in the field and don't want to haul them up every day to feed seperate. I'm happy with moderate growth, but I don't show so I can afford to wait a little while for them to grow up. My guys have a salt block available and the suckling colt and his dam get calf manna...gasp! If this colt is gonna be kept up while you doctor on him I wouldn't overfeed him as he will get goofy. Good luck Michelle [/QUOTE]
