Safe Strategies for Significant Horse Weight Loss and Weight Gain

 Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah explain how to safely help horses gain or lose significant weight. They discuss measuring forage and feed accurately, setting realistic timelines, and using weight tapes, photos, and body condition scoring to track progress. For thin horses, the focus is high-quality forage and balanced fat-and-fiber nutrition; for overweight horses, it is carefully managed forage and a ration balancer. If there is no clear progress after about 30 days, it may be time to investigate veterinary, dental, metabolic, or environmental causes.
