So my horse is a 20 year old bay standerbred. I got him from a rescue and he has put a lot of trust in me, I love him so much but I've noticed he started losing weight. Well we checked him and his teeth aren't sharp as I can tell because he lets me check. But they other day you know I was scrolling on Facebook and saw this product called Equinety. It's exposed to help with anything the horse needs so I thought well I'll try it so today I order my first thing of it.! Like for example the horse need muscle which in fact he does it would help put muscle on him. Need weight to will put weight on him etc. I'll be posting pics of before and when I try the product. So before and update pictures and after the product is gone. Edited at September 8, 2018 01:58 AM by OakLey's Stables |

Horses can lose weight for a whole host of reasons.
Also, you cant really check the teeth without a speculum. They should be done every year or so.
Before just throwing products at him, why not get a vet out and see if there is a reason first? |

1. The product doesn't help with weight if they don't need it. 2. It helps with abscess which he just got one but it's been tooken care of, it helps with their coats. 3. It's just a trial, plus the guy we board him at knows horses So he just said to worm him. The lady we got him off of died 3 days later of a heartattack so we couldn't get much information on him. His teeth are to be floated soon.

Equinety is a vitamin. And while most horses can benefit from the addition of vitamins in their diet, it isnt going to cure or fix issues.
Please get a vet out to determine why your horse is losing weight.
Did you get him from a rescue or a lady? Rescues generally have multiple workers who can give you information, but I dont think that's necessary. |

Best way to see what's wrong is to get a vet out to examine him like Jello said. "Someone who knows horses" isn't a licensed vet so while they may have a lot of experience they aren't medically licensed to say what is or isn't wrong with him. Edited at September 8, 2018 02:17 PM by All Breeds |

You can always try that supplement, I doubt that it will harm him, but a vet visit wont harm him either. Seeing as you don't know his past, its best to cover all of your bases. A vet can also do a fecal egg count to look for worms and parasites which can cause weight loss, along with teeth floating and a physical exam. |

I'm always skeptical about "miracle" products.
Also, you'd be throwing money away on a supplement without know the root of the problem, which is, well a worry.... |
