What type of feed is she on? I have a gelding that I have to watch what feed hes getting and no pasture during the spring and summer months if we're getting rain, he cant handle the sugars and his feet get real sore, hes IR {Insulin Resistant} just found this out last spring after years trying to figure out why he was lame one day and not the next. I use two vets one here in town and one in Selma, I was using the wrong Vet, I finally took him to my main Vet in Selma and he figured out what was going on with him. Ask your Vet about IR.. Its the horses that are easy keepers that can have IR problems.

She gets alfalfa and grass hay, and she gets haystack special blend which is 5% starch and 7% sugars, and a bit of purina healthy edge with that which I also believe is low(er) starch and sugar. She isn’t a super easy keeper but she isn’t a hard keeper either. But I can ask about it :)
