I HAVE A 18YR OLD PAINT….HE STARTED LOOSING WEIGHT OVER LAST WINTER…ALOT OF WEIGHT….I STARTED FEEDING HIM COOKED OATS AND BEET PULP TWICE DAILY FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS…HE GOT HIS WEIGHT BACK TO ALMOST NORMAL THIS SPRING….HE STARTED LOOSING WEIGHT AGAIN….HIS LIVER ENZYMES WERE ELEVATED.. I PUT HIM ON LIVERTROPE TO HELP HIS LIVER…WHAT ELSE CAN I DO FOR HIM?…..

Here in the upper Midwest we’ve had weight problems with our Arabian. Personally, I don’t think they’re genetically equipped to handle our sub zero winters. So, this winter in addition to regular feedings of grain and hay, I feed him a warm bucket of beet pulp with molasses at 11:00 P.M. every night. This gets him through the night and put the weight back on him fairly quickly. When everything else failed, this did the trick.

Great tips. Certainly not a usual problem but it happens.
