More calories, more protein, and more low slow excercise.
I'm adding rice bran today |

The horse directly above looks just like my thoroughbred gelding. Just kinda "sunken" in the middle. I was hoping it would fill out, and it may as mines only 6 as well. But he is racey built. Could just be how he stays. As long as he's healthy, what does it really matter?
Love it! Yes he's healthy :) |

Looks to me that horse looks a bit on the poor side, what type of feed and hay is he getting? When was the last time you had his teeth floated?
He gets daily renew gold 1#, alfalfa 2x daily, it's quality, and coastal plus pasture. He's wormed regularly, teeth done in March. I have 6 horses and he's the only on that looks like this. I added rice bran back into his diet yesterday. It's been so humid and he sweats profusely everyday, much more than the others. He's very well taken care of I just feel like I'm missing something I can't see. I've suspected epm for a few weeks but sometimes over think things |

I agree. He isn't starving just not full. I also agree that he is off and it is possible that there is an issue somewhere. |

That's correct he's not full and it drives us NUTS. |
