Hi, I've just had a rather explosive ride this evening. Spooking at EVERYTHING and generally being a total knob.
This is the second time he's been like this and it is hugely out of character for him.
When I last came back to the UK for a short trip, Casper loast condition and was lacking in energy when I returned. Vet came out and rasped his teeth (he'd not been eating up, now gobbles it down no problem) and looked him over and he was given the ok. He did however suggest a supplement.
He was duly given one and I have seen such an improvement BUT he's getting progressively idiotic. I don't back off of him when he throws his toys out and ride him through it fine but I cheked to see what this supplement was and although it was all in Hindi managed to find out that it is pretty much a calcium supplement he's been given.
I love his energy but the sillyness is just not like him and I wondered if any of you could shed some light on it for me.
His feed is ad lib hay, lucerne fresh and two feeds of straights. Don't ask me what the heck the straights are mind you, nothing seems to bear the slightest resemblance to what we get at home. In any case, nothing in the feed has been changed other than this supplement and previously he was a treasure on his rations.
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
