What to feed??????

[flynn]

Hi,
I have a 17.2 thouroughbred which i feed Alfalfa with added Oatinol and Fibregest from: http://www.gwfnutrition.com/prod_fibregest/index.htm. Really happy with this feed, however my horse has hardly any top line on his neck. He works in a very good outline and is affiliated to elementary level, so works well. I have tried many different thing such as:
BlueChip
TopSpec Feed Balancer
Baileys Low Cal- not that he is fat but was recommended
Equillibra- from the same company but he wouldnt eat it!
Muscle Up Powder by Global Herbs.
He is of normal weight tummy wise but he does look odd as he has a very scrawny neck
Any advice welcome thanks

I used to use Baileys No4 Topline Conditioning nuts and I found that they worked wonders - probably worth giving those a try. Although - and I am sure others will say this, it may just be down to muscle. Have you maybe tried having a physio or chiro look at him in case there is any kind of muscle wastage hence why he isnt getting much of a topline?

You could feed him every day with caviar and champagne and it wouldn't give him a top line hun. It's finding the right schooling exercises to work that part of his body and build up the muscle that will crack it. What sort of comments from the judge do you get on your test sheets? It may be just the way he's built x
