Let me know how Total Feeds works for you Abs! I know Fallon Taylor and our barrel racing college really has been pushing it. I'm about to drive three towns over to get to the dealer we have if it works well for you. |

here is an awesome feed company! i love their omneity premix.
i would also recommend just plain old flax seed oil or beet pulp. this will help him put on a few pounds. whatever you do though, i would recommend to stay off sweet feed.
a race trained tb at my barn is having the same issue. he is on soaked alfalfa pellets 2x a day with vitamin b (helps with stress), himalayan salt (hydration), vitamin e/eselenium (muscle growth + development), bentonite (draws out toxins) and visceral (ulcers).
if you want to be super extra, i would ass farriers formula or biotin. |

Thanks for the input, friends! <3
I am holding off for now until our vet visit next week. Going to do a general wellness exam and have his teeth checked/floated if need be. Also going to get advice on wormer and putting weight on him. He started showing potential signs of ulcers and I don't want to do anything right now that could make it worse. I will come back and update, though! :) |

I bought a horse last winter that is a horrible keeper, now not sure how much it is but it's called Purina amplify high-fat supliment it worked SUPER good for my horse he gained his weight back in 2 months or less, also if you are planning on working him I recommend supersport also by Purina, and sorry I also don't know the price but these two grains don't need anything special done. |
