I’m looking to add a little more weight to my 3yo. He is getting light work (3 days a week) is out on pasture and has access to grass hay 24/7. Usually I would add alfalfa, but we haven’t brought it in yet so that is not an option until middle of October. Not a big fan of grain, and do not want anything to juice him up, he’s hot enough now and with shorter days I have even less time to work him :) Looking at Renew Gold to add a little weight, he could use about 50lbs more to His frame. What are your thoughts on RG and adding weight?

I feed Renew Gold and alfalfa only to my herd (ages weaning and up). They all do great on this diet.

Three year olds have a lot going on in their mouth. Make sure his dental care is up to date and Renew Gold should get him where you want him to be.

He had his teeth done in August and they were bad, which I figured and blamed his lack of weight gain on that. But he still hasn’t gained like I was hoping he would, so looking for a little boost (:

Beet pulp has never failed me for getting weight / bloom on one.

 Make sure his vit/min needs are being met.

He’s on free choice ADM Grostrong. He’s slick and shiny, I think just growing faster than he can pack calories on. His mom was like that as well.

Renew Gold or a rice bran are my go to's. RG is hard to snag in my area, I have to drive to another town. So I started getting Nutrena Boost instead which I can get just down the road from my house. I usually give 1 cup a day & they fill out quickly. Fills in toplines on old horses amazingly well too with minimal effort. A bag lasts me 1.5-2 months per horse, I love the stuff
