[QUOTE="TJAdix, post: 749675, member: 14055"] First, I would get the blood test. Then, depending on the size of your horse and the grain you are feeding. The amount of grain does sound a bit under from what we would feed a 1200 lbs horse at our training facility. We feed a 16% grain 2x daily (12 lbs grain, 2xdaily) plus 15 lbs(hay) 2 x daily of brome hay. Make sure your brome hay is excellent and never been rained on....no mold. I'm in Kansas and we had a bad year last year along with Iowa for rain on brome hay. If your brome wasnt' put up before the rain hit then your protien content is just as low as prairie hay. Other factors are is the horse hurting for example does he need an adjustment. Horses that are hurting are not going to gain weight. You may need to researsch a good chiro in your area. We adjust horses here in training and even the ones that are on the road every weekend for shows. Just like us they too need help every once in a while. Good luck and keep us posted on your horse! :cboy: [/QUOTE]
