I just re-read the question. A good high fat feed is Blue Seal Performance LS. It's low starch and among the highest fat you can get in an extruded pellet form, 12%.
Super-Gain is good too. When I used to do horse rescue years ago, we put rescued horses on this (And I mean the walking skeleton kind of horses we got in). It's amazing stuff.
thanks everyone ... I know my feed store has Equine Senior and I can probably get some corn oil to go with the strategy ... ill also look for the other stuff you guys said
No idea whether you have it in the US, but we use SpeediBeet. It's sugar beet that you soak, and it helps horses put on weight. Its really quite economical too, you pay like A$30 for a 20kg bag, and we use like two handfuls a day for three horses, one of which is in ..oh, i wouldnt say heavy work,but not light either..he's a competition showjumper, and it helps him keep on weight without making him go mental all the time
ya, we have something called beet pulp. you can give your horse that and it really helps them put on the weight. u just soak it in water and give it to him. they really like it.
