My horse is a 9 year old warmblood thoroughbred cross. She's getting pretty skinny in the back and hindqaurters. At the place where she's boarding the owners are giving her twice the amount of hay as…Continue

Hi I noticed that you're a Therapeutic riding instructor as well as a equine message therapist, and I was just wondering where and how you got your degrees.

Not many people know this, but feeding canola oil by itself will CAUSE your horse to lose weight. I learned this from a biochemist who has done extensive studies on it. If you mix it half and half with corn oil, then you will get the effect you want…

Hello, Lots of times horses don't gain wait because they are not digesting the food that we give them, like everything they are all individuals. From what I have learned in the past is that you do not want to feed oils to your horses…

"As far as hay" going right through them" this is bull. Horses need roughage via grass and or hay. Horses are grazing animals, unlike dogs or cats. Your mare should have hay/grass at all times. As an eventer, trainer,unless a horse is…

Are you worming enough? Also like some of the other answers, how much the barn owners feed their QH can be as little as a 1/4 of what your mare needs. Many "cold bloodied" types can look good and be very healthy on very little food,…

I rescued a TB and he was skinny as can be, We fed him lots of grain but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll put more weight on him. Beet Pulp is a great thing to give for weight gain, I put my horse on weight gain for a couple of months…

I would get your vet to do a fecal sample and try and rule out worms, also a probiotic supplement can be helpful.. I have a Canadian Warmblood (Oldenburg x TB) who tends to be a poor keeper in the winter, I started giving him 2 big flakes of alfalfa…

Hi, Eden: I agree with Queenrider - most barns don't feed nearly enough hay. I have a barn full of WB's, ranging in age (right now) between 4 and 16, and all of them eat at least 1/2 a bale of hay per day right now (that averages 30 - 40…

Queenrider replied to Eden Grace Schulte's discussion 'Helping a Warmblood To Gain Weight'
You did not specifiy amounts of what she is getting fed. You also mention she is getting skinny in the back and hindquarters. This can be due to something as simple as a lack of exercise or to muscle atrophy problem which requires a vet exam. Some…

A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
I've been riding since I was 12. My life consists on school and riding (sometimes I hang with friends when they've been able to drag me out of the barn). I am very blessed to have parents who support me in my riding, and who will change the budget around just so I have a place to ride.
I was in Misty Pines Pony Club for two years. Now I am in Sage and Sands Pony Club. My dream is to get to level A in pony club so that I get can my instructors license right away.
Do you have any pets?
Horse: Fantasy.
