Loads of haylage if possible, any conditioning feed and oil. Also make sure he's getting a really decent vit & min supplement, ideally with B vitamins which some dont have.

I've had success with Top Spec Balancer and Top Spec Cool and Condition cubes - not the cheapest option, but very effective and means you don't have to pump them full with a high grain diet.

aim for gradual weight gain not putting it on too fast though.

I know you have had lots of advice already but i have been trying to put weight on my mare following her suffering from stomach ulcers. I have been using Sarasen Feeds - re-leve which is a high fibre very low starch and also Equi Jewel - this a high fat product - which is brilliant for weight gain. My girl is looing really good now!! i would certainly reccommend those. Also use corn oil and that is really good for them - lots of calories.
Good luck
Good luck
