How do you guys feed your horses that are on stall rest? Mine had surgery and will be out of commission for 4-6 months. Stall rest for the first 30 then turnout. Do you just feed hay and if so, how much? I don't want him to pack on the pounds:-)

I just went through this. Make sure they have good grass hay all the time. Slow hay net works good.
Plenty of water too. If you feed grain you can cut this down slowly to almost nothing.

grass hay 24/7. I will also give a flake or 2 of alfalfa in a slow feed hay net in the afternoon. THE GastroPLUS is a must for any of mine injured/stalled.
