Feeding advice for a rather sad TB

[astewart13]

Following a leg injury my TB has had two antibiotics, box rest, light work to stimulate healing followed by two weeks full time turnout. None of which she has liked! The stress of the leg injury dropped the weight off her, she perked up for a bit while back hacking but has disappeared before my eyes while turned out.

She was turned out on the vets advise to promote healing, but she has become depressed and like a lot of TBs seems to enjoy her work and hate holidays! (she has been fed while out) I imagine she will be mentally much less stressed when she comes back in from grass tomorrow and so will begin to put on a bit of weight, but she has been through a lot and I feel needs some "building up" both in terms of muscle and condition but also her general health and well being. She will continue to be fed conditioning cubes when she comes back in along with flax oil to help her joints, but are there any other supplements you guys would recommend in this situation?

A good vit/min supplement with plenty of pre/pro for the hindgut. Equimins advance complete is great for putting on condition and comes with a full money back guarantee

I feel like a very boring broken record, but think that Alltech Lifeforce is the best all-round supplement you can find. I really rate this supplement, it seems to do everything you ever want. Hooves, coat, digestive system, and general all round health.

ulcers?

I put my rather sad looking TB on Blue Chip Pro - not the cheapest by a long shot but has so many good things in it and he looked so sorry I was willing to try anything! May also be worth reading up on turmeric - I have tried it in the past and would really recommend it. You can buy turmeric super cheap from Indian supermarkets and then you add Olive Oil and freshly ground black pepper - I know this sounds bonkers but if you read up on it everything will be explained
