Turnburnsis - 2017-11-14 8:35 PM Pleas read Dr. Getty's articles on line or get her book on how to feed a horse like a horse. I understand so much more than I did before and why they react to certain things. I grew up dry lotting if fat and so forth. My horse looked like he had a hay belly all the time and I struggled to get weight off him bc I was also told he was fat all the time and I would ride and still nothing always had that hay belly look and I was losing topline too and I blamed that on epm which he has. Now I have topline! and he looks awesome and he is not being ridden bc of his hock. This is the best he has looked. He only gets all the Bermuda Hay, a flake of alfalfa hay 2x day, 1/2 scoop of whole oats, and his vit/min, and forefront. She also explains if you dry lot they should have hay in front of them at all times. and their system is so different than our system. She has a bunch of articles on her website if you don't want to spend the money on her book.
