We have a 4 year old QH mare who is looking pretty bony... you can't see her ribcage at all but her neck is kinda narrow and thin and what i'm mainly concerned about is that her hip bone and spine are very visible. her hindquarters and back area are overall looking pretty skinny. She is currently being fed 2 large flakes (about 4-6 inches thick) of grass/alfalfa/mix hay every day, and when we work her we feed her some sweet feed as kind of a treat, and occasionally a bit of corn, but that's about it. She does also have a salt and mineral block. Is there a supplement or type of grain that would be good to help her put on and mainly MAINTAIN a healthy weight? maybe some alfala pellets? beet pulp? oats? what would be reccommended?
