Which Senior Feed is Best?

Thats probably why. We had frost the other night. It get to the 40's at night. Do you think that why they have their coats?

I think its very possable

Italian, I just have to say, your avatar picture is VERY disturbing. I have seen a couple of mini dwarfs in person. They are troubling...

I agree with county (), the cool weather is keeping their hair on.

If your boy gets hyper on grain, then don't feed it to them. When a horse gets excited on grain, then they become more active, which revs their metabolism, which makes them burn more energy, which makes them need more feed. It's a viscous cycle... You need to try the diet I gave you. It will keep both horses calm while putting on plenty of weight.

I agree with Luvs2ride - if the grain is making him active, it isn't going to keep weight on him. You might need to try a grain with less sugar, or follow another diet.

I'm glad everything is working out for you. You have already received a whole bunch of good advice. My 29 year old has been having trouble keeping weight on the last 3 winters. We started him on Purina Equine Senior and he did well for a while but this last winter was especially hard on him. It could have something to do with the 7 weeks of below freezing temperatures..but anyway.. We started him on Triple Crown Senior as well. (They don't stock it anywhere around here so we have to order it through a feed store) We mix the two as the TCS is a bit on the expensive side. That along with all the grass he wants has helped him to gain a lot of weight in just a couple of months.

It's a bit hard to see some of it due to his winter coat. But long story short, it's helped him out a lot. He has a lot more energy now too.

Does he look better?

He looks ALOT better, Erin! But he still needs some work! Keep it up and he should be back to normal weight in no time!

Is that horse tied to a t-post!?

I second that! Keep up up the good work :). I'm glad it's working out.
