My lad comes up at around the 580kg mark on the weight tape.
No matter what i do he won't get less than that.
I am hoping that winter helps.

I had to get really evil with Blossom this year. Galahad my oldie (25 years young grade quarter horse gelding sans molars) had to increase his buckets to four buckets a day. Ah Blossom on the other hand promptly gained a good 50lbs when we switched from prairie grass to brome hay and I had to do something pronto. She had been on two buckets of soaked beetpulp a day, and two flakes of brome in the morning, two flakes of brome at night. I cut her back to one bucket a day. Some playing about and she's happiest to have her one bucket in the morning. Luckily she seems to forget about the evening bucket, but gets herself into a foul mood if there's no breakfast bucket. Its taken about a month to a month and a half for the weight to shift, but it is now balanced on her again. I can feel her ribs. They are padded, but I can feel them and she's at just the right weight. It can be such a balancing act with them  |
