then again human tips might be useful too Although not CR I feel the most sensible answers are given in this section of the forum! What else can you recommend to slim down the waist line of my horse? Here's the background
Ludo is a 18yo Dutch Warmblood and generally a good do-er. At the moment I feel he is a little over weight and at about 546kg the top end of what I'd call normal for him (normally about 524-538). At the moment he is in during the day from around 6.30am until about 7pm when I ride. He is ridden for at least an hour 6 days out of 7, so he's off the grass for around 13 hours a day.
Each morning he gets this small feed so I can give him his Respirator Boost. It's only happy hoof and readigrass
Plus the bigger of these two nets. He gets the smaller net later in the afternoon
Just to give you an idea of quantity in the nets, I filled 6 large nets and 5 small ones on Sunday and used no more than 3 slices of large bale hay.
Here's pic of him taken in May shortly after he stated to live out overnight
This one was taken this morning:
The only other thing I could think of is to syringe the Boost and drop the very small amount of feed he gets?
Apologies no treats yet either - just about to sort out my lunch to take to work.... which I must get going for or I'll be late AGAIN!
