🐴 Is your horse dropping weight despite being fed well?
One of the biggest mistakes I see is focusing only on calories.
Weight loss is often a sign that something else needs attention.
Common factors include:
✔️ Poor gut health
✔️ Reduced nutrient absorption
✔️ Dental issues
✔️ Parasite burden
✔️ Chronic pain or discomfort
✔️ Stress
✔️ Increased energy demands during winter
Before simply adding more feed, it's worth asking why your horse is struggling to maintain condition in the first place.
The best results come from identifying and addressing the underlying cause.
