I bought a mare who had a foal weaned about a month ago. When I bought her (she's a little senior, 17 yrs old), she was a little ribbey with a big sagging gut like she just foaled.
I figured part of it was that she was nursing a foal. If that is the case, how long would it take for her to get a little fat on her? I'm thinking she needs more than her Senior Diet. Like a little extra protein. She should have put a little meat on her ribs by now. She's up to date on worming. Waiting to hear about whether she needs her teeth floated. She did have them done about 9 months ago.
Appreciate any expert advise. Thanks.
