[Chico Mio]

Got an opposite - in January when he was fat and out of shape after 9 months off after an accident:

and about a month ago, after some diet and exercise:

Sorry it's tiny - had a resizing episode!

 

[Jayde]

Wow they look great.
Ziggy and Llwyncwn, can I ask what you fed them on to get them looking so good?
My sister is picking her new horse up this weekend and she needs to gain some weight/topline.

Mines kind of cheating as she is a youngster, the fluff hides how skinny she really was

January 09 - 4 months old, wormy and full of lice

August 09

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Well, not quite skinny, but he has more muscle now. This is us in 2005, when he was 5:

and this is us now -- he's now 9

Mines the other way round, check out the signature! V

 

[FanyDuChamp]

Captain when we had had him 3 months, he had already put on loads of weight!

And about 4 months

He is doing better still now, but no recent piccys.He is my super model, blond hair, long legs and loses weight at the drop of a hat!

 

[Llwyncwn]

I fed him a basic fibre and oil diet with one magic ingredient. The diet was HiFi Light, D&H Country Cubes, Speedy Beet and veg oil. The ingredient which sorted his head and hind gut out was Coligone. Lots of turn out and plenty of Dr Green together with a regular routine, your sister will soon turn her new mare around.

Good luck and do let us know how she gets on

I had problems feeding my mare as she can't tolerate any kind of cereal, she goes bonkers and the weight just falls off.

Last summer I did a feed trial for Winergy Equilibrium (a conditioning feed based on fibre and oil, no cereal and very low starch) which was a revelation. The third pic that I posted was my 'after' pic that I sent to Winergy after four weeks on the feed.

Sorry, thats a shameless plug, but I thought this feed was amazing, so much so that I've got sacks of it stacked up in my shed ATM ready for this winter. As Llwyncwn says you want to base whatever you feed on fibre and oil, and get them onto good grazing where possible too. Good luck
