In pursuit of better hoof condition, I've decided to feed Ian a different type of grain using a different approach to better address his protein levels. He's a 12yo Anglo/Trak gelding, with a body condition score of 5.5, and has been slowly gaining weight.
Ian is currently on Triple Crown Lite, 2.5# daily, TC Senior to maintain condition (max 2.6# daily), and 1/2C of canola oil. Grass hay fed as much as he'll eat, about 30# a day.
He will be slowly switched over to...
2# Progressive Nutrition's Grass Advantage formula, daily along with the grass hay.
If he starts to lose weight, I'll be adding another feed to boost calorie intake. Don't know which one yet!
Hoof pics to follow....
