Location: In The Snow, AZ | THE MM. Wonderful product. Puts weight and muscle on, as well as shine. I, personally, had zero luck with Cool Calories. But it may just be my horses. Worth a shot as a cheaper product. |

| I second THE MM. I don't have a young one but I do have a 28 year old who looks amazing and he is not an easy keeper (never has been). Also you might keep in mind that at 3 he could be shedding his baby teeth. But THE MM is amazing. |

| I've used Cool Calories in the past with good results.
This time around I used MVP Exceed 6-way in conjunction with complete feed and quality hay and had just as good of results. Contact me for an introductory offer! |

| I have a granddaughter of Poco Tivio we got as a two year old. She was long legged, narrow and shallow bodied. By the time she turned five she looked like a tank. Some horses take longer to mature. |

Same as my boy.. Tivio is a thick bodied horse just took a lil longer.. but what are you feeding it and how much? cool calories works fast , alfalfa does or high fat grain.. unlimited hay as well..but make sure hes getting proper calories..the high end of the spectrum of feed recommended |

My old guy needs extra calories (he's on SR feed, beet pulp, Platinum CJ, and rice bran). My question is how much rice bran can I feed, high end? I know what the bag says, but I also know some people tweak the amount to fit their horses and it works well for them. . . .

Personally with fat supplements id not go over recommended but with rice bran Im not sure.. due to to much fat can cause loose manure . Id be more ok with adding more beet pulp or alfalfa.. but i havent used rice bran so maybe someone will chime in... ..... Op.. some horses dont do well on safe choice.. how many lbs does he get? can you add alfalfa to his diet. |

Location: Nebraska | SmartMuscle Mass by SmartPak. My horse was scrawny all summer and after about 2 weeks on that she turned into a beefcake. It's pricey but worth it in my opinion |

I have a friend with a QH gelding who was breed for english. Had some TB in him, tall and lanky and always looked thin and ribby. She tried LOTS of stuff and finally put him on DAC Oil and he looked like a different horse. I think she started out by giving him 8 ounces a day until he bulked up and then was able to back off |

How many pounds of Safe Choice are you giving him? Depending on how much you are giving, he might just need more. It could be another half to 1lb per feeding.

THIS!!!!! Had a scrawny Poco Tivio, bought him for nothing...people warned me that blood line was notoriously late to mature. They were right...between 3 n 5 he filled out and got beefy and gorgeous. |
