You might look into offering soaked beet pulp to Pearl. It's very easy to find, not expensive, easy for the horse to digest and will put weight on her back and rump. You'd be amazed at the results. I depend on it to keep all of my horses in condition, especially because some are hard keepers and they all love it. I've also recommended it to friends who had rescued horses in really poor condition and it turned them around in a few weeks. One horse even went from hardly being strong enough to walk to running and playing.She gets 14% pellets and cracked corn. Plus all the hay she wants. Her ribs don't show anymore and I can't feel them either. Her poor bony back is finally getting some meat on it and her flanks are no longer wasp-waisted. They are still caved in, but nothing like they were. I didn't even ride her because she was so skinny that I was afraid that people would think that I didn't feed her. I finally said to heck with it and saddled up. She is looking the best she ever has, it's been a long road and we have further to go. I can't wait to see her filled out, slick and shiny.
