[QUOTE="jonbri55, post: 763659, member: 8312"] Back to the feeding question about this colt...I would feed him the grain for mares and weanlings. It's got the extra calories he needs to help put weight on. You could also give him a feed that is formulated for senior horses. They are usually complete feeds that will really help put weight on without getting him too hot. Adding about a cup of corn oil to each feeding is another trick. It will make his coat shiney too. Gelding him will help him not think of the mares so much too even though he's separated from them. Working with him in a round pen will help him not only build respect but build his muscles by working them. He does appear to have some pony breed in him judging by his bushy mane but since I'm not familiar with the horses you have over there I can't really say. He's got pretty markings though! [/QUOTE]
