My girlfreind and I went to see her horse, also brought her some 2nd alfalfa & oats in the back of my truck. The owner of the stable says the horse is too skinny but personally I'm not so convinced. Yeah her ribs show a little but so do over 1/2 the other horses there.... Plus the lady seems a little, well, clueless to put it mildly...

Figured we'd give the horse a treat anyway....

Most people overfeed horses, and of course, a horse will eat himself to death given a chance. The nutritional value of feed such as oats or corn is so much greater than hay or grass that a little goes a long way. When we were showing horses years ago and riding them at least 5 hours a week, our rule of thumb was to have the last rib or two showing. However, most people believe that if you can see a rib on anything, then it must be close to starving.

Yeah, the hay they feed the horses is just plain grass, I doubt it's ever been reseeded with timothy or anything with any kind of nutritional value to it. They do suplement with some grain, but not much and not often from what I understand. Figured I'd help out and give her a few good bales and 2 bags of oats from the bin.

Can you say Happy Horse??
