Why does my horse get wild on feed? Is oats, hay, and pasture enough?
Hello. Every horse is an individual, & despite everything you might read, if Beau was doing well on the oats & hay, then that is good for him. Your photo shows a nicely balanced horse. As long as he maintains a good weight like this, then anything additional is unnecessary. Oats, hay & pasture are perfect for him. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My horse is sad after losing her friend. How can I help her?
That is very sad. Horses are social animals and bond with each other, and other animals. I would move her to be with another animal or move another horse to be close with her. A pony or mini or donkey or calf or goat will work too. She needs someone she can spend time with and look after. That will give her a new lease on life and perk her up. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Blossom.

How to help my horse adjust to a new barn and prevent anxiety?
If you use a good transport company to move your horse, then, after a relatively short adjustment period, your horse should be fine. Horses are moved all the time and seldom have problems. I am sure your boarding school will be able to help you help hom adjust. Ask your friend to ask a separate question about moving overseas, as we would need to know , the place of origin and where the horse is traveling.

What supplements help a boarded horse gain weight without extra meals?
Hi again. Your main source of calories should come from good forage but if that is unavailable, you will need to add more fat to the diet. You can do this with vegetable oils, especially doybrsn oil rather than corn oil. Start with 2 ounces of oil twice daily & gradually build up to 8 ounces twice daily. Another source of fat is stabilized rice bran, which is about 20% fat & is palatable to horses. This is also less messy than an oil. You would feed the same increasing amount as the oil. Watch the manure for any signs of diarrhea or loose stool & back off the fats as necessary. Hope this helps & thanks againfor using Boop by Petco.

How much hay to feed an overweight horse: current vs. ideal weight?
Hello. You always feed for the ideal body weight, not the current weight. I would start out with the 2%, but if your horse cleans this up too quickly, then I would bump up the hay a little more. It is also important to know the carbohydrate content of your hay so contact you Cooperative Extension office in your county & see who can do a hay analysis for you. A higher carb content would mean feeding less hay. Lower carbs., more hay can be fed. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
