he's losing condition:(

[pony_person_mee]

my 13.2 tbx is losing condition on his muscles.
at the mo he is only ridden twice a week and fed about 4 times (which i now realise is not a good idea feeding him irregularly) in his feed he just has half a scoop of coarse mix, a scoop of chaff and garlic powder.
can someone helpme work out a new feeding program to help condition him???

How old is he, does he have any health conditions such as lamintis, does he live in or out, what work does he do, and how often per day could you feed him?

Has he had his teeth checked recently? Also when was he last wormed?

 

[palomino698]

In addition to the previous questions regarding age, teeth, worming and work, is he having plenty of hay or haylage EVERY DAY, not just here and there? How much?

 

[merlinsquest]

Why does he only get fed four or five times a week

I hope he has something to eat on the other days

Might have answered your own question with that statement!!

I think I would lose weight if fed erratically......... mmmmm now there is a thought!

Firstly I think you need to make sure he has at least one feed every day, alongside good quality hay everyday.
There are many feed helplines out there you could give a few a ring and ask them to help you get a good diet together for him.
