smells like curry powder and is meant to help muscle production to.

YO swears by the stuff and it's not stupidly expensive either.

Have tried it among loads of other things, horse didn't like it.

Most successful recipe so far for getting/keeping his weight on without dicing with the L word as follows, twice a day:

Alfa A, level scoop.
Spillers High fibre nuts, half scoop (I think it's the probiotics).
Speedi beet, half scoop.
Baileys outshine, half a mug.

Plus hay and very short grazing.

hey fenugreek seeds are good for weight gain - partly because they are used to increase appetite... (obviously aslong as your horse likes them) lol.

Anything that increases appetite needs to be given alongside increased calories, otherwise its pretty useless!

Fenugreek on its own wont put on any weight at all, you need nutritious bucket feed for that not a tablespoon of dried herbs!
