Warmblood with Wings Posts: 27846 Location: Florida..	4 lbs isnt alot. what feed is it? fat and calories will help id work him low and deep trot work as well over his back. it will help develop the proper muscles. a strong back helps develop a great topline.. but he has to get the right calories etc..

Fire Ant Peddler Posts: 2881	That is exactly why I took my horse to the vet today. I thought he had EPM and that is exactly what he had. This was not his only symptom but the others were very subtle.

Cyber World Challenged Posts: 2526 Location: My Own Little World	I'd try that Total Equine. You only feed a few pounds a day. Supposed to be a complete supplement that you add nothing else to. Only hay or pasture. The horses I see on it are looking great.

Warmblood with Wings Posts: 27846 Location: Florida..	before assuming it epm.. lets look at the calories the horse is getting.. and fat %. any horse being worked or not will lose the topline if not getting enough calories now what is the "name of the grain" so we can look at the %% and possibly help you ..
