also for anyone reading through the comments,, I own a hard keep tb and along with hay and complete pellets, she gets milled soy with her special (high natural fat) supplement feed, it's worked great for me(:
I needed this information as well, thank you!
Alfalfa made a huge difference with my older horse Chief
I love smartpak
thank you!
ALL horses should be paddock kept .. if you keep your horse in a stall how can you expect it to be healthy
I've seen the vet multiple times and still my horse is not gaining wieght
Toni Sturgeon Most likely, you might have not found the right feed, or you aren’t getting quality hay. It really could be anything, but this is just a suggestion😘.
I think oil helps? I may be wrong but if I remember correctly oil helps them gain weight and get a shiny coat
@@Ilovemyboyfriend6969 precisely. Linseed oil is great
We can’t really help if you don’t give us any information. I know this comment is two years old, but it still applies.
#AskTheVet I own a 25 year old arabian gelding. when he walks, his back legs hit his front legs and it leaves a nasty mark. Although it used to bleed, it does not anymore. i think he is still in pain when he walks though. would bell-boots help? if so, what bellboot would you recommend from SmartPak?
-Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I know you were asking SmartPak, but I have a similar situation. My horse does this all the time. I use bell boots every time I ride or lunge him and it has helped so much! But recently I would see he had cut himself when I would take him in from the pasture, so now I keep his bell boots on during turnout as well (which many people do). Now he never gets cuts and I'm a lot happier :). I recommend Professionals Choice no turn bell boots, they have held up extremely well.
Omg Thanks so much!!! i haven't gotten smartpak to answer so this was a big help! :)
I would recommend if your horse is really bad leave them on almost all of the time but always checking them regularly (daily) and make sure they fit correctly, I use the rubber ones and they work good too,
My horse doesn't eat his hay much because he's alone. So far after trying many things I haven't been able to get weight on him because of this.
Hi! What nutients does beet pulp provide, and is it true that not soaking beet pulp can be fatal?
Sarah Bodo ???
Beet pulp is amazing it's very fatal if not soaked over night or for atleased 5 hours and beetpulp has fat and different stuff and still affordable😁
@@tonisturgeon1321 since i live in ecuador, i just feed some raw beets they love them!
Beet pulp provides lots of fibre and no it is not fatal to not soak beetpulp, it cannot expand too much in the stomach as the digestive enzymes break it down quick enough but soak8ng is recommended to increase water intake
@@tonisturgeon1321beet pulp is not fatal if not soaked, it cannot expand enough before the digestive enzymes start breaking it down
You like math right lol 😆
She diente say anything....😒
