| Posted about Nitro a few months ago asking for feeding suggestions. Here are some before and after pictures of him. Brought him home March 20 and these pictures were taken June 26. I will try and get some more updated ones this weekend but I am just so happy with him. He is the sweetest, easiest horse I've ever had the pleasure of working with!

It's ridiculous that a 10 year old horse was ever in that condition.... |

| Thank you all for your kind words!
Because of the great information I have learned from this site he is now on the Bluebonnet Intensify Omega Force and T.H.E. MM with ucler, hoof, joint blend and freechoice hay/pasture. The only thing we are still working on to be able to ride is his poor feet! He has trouble growing sole. My vet and farrier are working together on that now. They cut most of the bad hoof off and attached a fiberglass/acrylic hoof to his hoof to be able to nail rocker shoes on. So fingers crossed!! |

Location: Texas | With that breeding, he should have been someone's go to horse. Maybe his feet are what caused them to give up on him. But shame of them. He looks great. So glad you saved him. |
