Fussy Eating Filly
Posted: Wed May 29, 2013 8:52 pm
I have a talented, 4 year old filly in training who gives me fits trying to keep her eating.
I have tried Sucralamate, Gastrogard, changing feeds from a grain based to a beet pulp, and blood tests. I am currently feeding her Raceready, beautiful orchard grass and dairy quality alfalfa, folic acid and B12 supplements, and extra molasses on her feed. She has a sweet tooth!
She's been holding her weight well this spring as I have trained her up but suddenly she's out of the tub and I've slowed down her training. (Note: I am an easy does it train and walk trainer.)
I started her on an enzyme supplement my vet recommended today.
Any thoughts that you have would be appreciated.
