Have a new ex racer that is underweight and very fussy poor doer.
We've finally found a feed he likes and eats (instead of kicking over and trampling...) but are not sure what weight of rugs he should have??
Are used to having natives/good doers so they are often left naked or with rain sheets more than anything else!
He's on 24/7 turnout with a huge amount of grazing and adlib hay.
Is currently in a rug liner to prevent rubbing, 50g stable rug, a full fleece and a 100g full rug on top
Am just wondering what the rugging guide is for horses like him that are underweight??
