It has been brought to my attention that several of our performance and breeding horses are losing weight due to extreme exercise or excessive breeding and foaling. However I do have a solution for this.
But lets make sure we've covered the basics first. I want you to ask yourself theses questions.
- Is my horse up to date on his worming treatment?
- Has my horse had a teeth flotation in the past year?
- Am I feeding at least a 4% fat feed?
If you have answered yes to all of these questions let me see if I can help you out. I'm going to let you in on a little secret I learned from a friend. The answer to all your problems is plain old corn oil.
How many times have you bought a bottle for a fish fry? Plenty times probably. Well go out and pick you up a bottle and follow these directions:
- 1/4 Cup corn oil in the morning feeding: Do this for about four days.
- 1/2 Cup corn oil in the morning feeding: Do this for eight days.
- 1 Cup of corn oil the morning feeding until your horse has reached your desired weight.
