Underweight Mare
05.25.2011 | Christy | MI
We purchased a mare from out of state based on a video/pictures. What was pictured as a shiny, fat healthy show horse stepped off the haulers trailer as a thin, underweight mare caked in mud and covered in rainrot. ONE month later using Grow N Win and Ultimate Finish together as a top dressing to our grain, she is a beautiful mare again. All of her hair fell out and is coming back in as a beautiful shiny coat. The Grow N Win has helped to put her back where she should be weight wise and she looks AMAZING!
Thank you Buckeye!
Thank you Buckeye!
The base diet used in the scenario above is Gro N Win. However, you can use Ultimate Finish with any current feeding program. Just topdress as necessary to gain weight or add some shine to a dull coat.
There are several great options for your OTTB who is having trouble maintaining weight. EQ8™ Gut Health or Cadence™ Ultra are two feeds that are high in fat to give your horse the calories he needs to maintain weight while working in a low starch and sugar formula. EQ8™ Gut Health utilizes cooked grains to ensure optimal starch digestion in the forgut, and live probiotics to enhance the functionality of the hindgut, EQ8™ Gut Health has the nutrients to optimize digestive balance. Cadence™ Ultra is a highly palatable sweet pellet for increased calories, digestibility and performance. We also have a line of fat supplements, Ultimate Finish™ 25, Ultimate Finish™ 40 and Ultimate Finish™ 100, that may be used in conjunction with grain mixes to increase calories for weight gain or increased body condition and to help enhance skin and coat condition.
