Up The Feed A Little Bit

This post is pretty short and sweet. :-)

After your horse has been standing around doing nothing much and you start riding, you can up his feed about 1/2 cup for the days you ride. If he starts to look a bit too thin, then you can still up his feed. I guess I should say this is for trail riding. If you are going into harder, tougher riding, like competitions, then you will really have to adjust his feed.

There isn't any excuse for a horse to look or be too thin while being ridden. He may start to trim up a bit, (don't we all when we start to walk regularly?) but I mean getting THIN.

As I posted before, get to know your horse and what he's supposed to look like and then keep him there.
