FME starch(clover) has played havoc on my horses way more than grass. That article says pretty much what Dr.O's does and what I have finally figured out over the years. That grass does put the weight on them!!! Since clover removal, mine have been grazing much more than allowed before the clover removal and are actually looking pretty good... Hank is exercised, yet he is probably the fattest of my 3. Keeping them at a BCS of 6 and preferably lower seems to be key.

My 9 year old mare was diagnosed with light la minis 6 week ago started her on remission she was doing good till this week. She came up lame on r foot. Has 2 cracks on the coronary bands and is growing rings on hoof. Wrapped the foot gave her bute. Today she is putting weight back on foot. She put weight on this summer. I have not ridden her much this year. I also fertilized and seeded pasture last year. It really look good. I keep it Short so the weeds don,t grow. I have 4 horses and they are all over weight. What can I do

Julia you may want to start your own discussion to get more answers. The simple ans is diet and exercise . Though sometimes it isn't as easy as it sounds. Read the articles on fat or obese horse nutrition. And the founder articles. I struggle with this daily, but have finally been successful.

Welcome julia,
I believe we can help you with your question but let me get you started off right so you can get the best answer as quick as possible.
You will get more responses if you start your own discussion rather than post at the bottom on another member's discussion. Each discussion is "owned" by the original poster and all replies in that discussion should either directly or indirectly address the concerns of the original poster.
To start your own discussion back up one page using the navigation bar at the top of this page. This will be a Article Page on this topic. Below the article you will find a list of already existing discussions on this topic. Under this list you will find the "Start New Discussion" button. This is a good topic on your subject so you should first review the article as it will have important information on your subject. Next check the titles of the already existing discussions to see if your question has already been answered.
If your question remains unanswered, now is the time to Start a New Discussion. Select a short title that describes your specific concern. A title like "Help!!!" does not help others find your specific topic. Instead something like "Ace for Colic?" allows others to rapidly find and understand what your topic is about just by viewing the title. This is likely to bring more responses from those with some experience with your topic and allows members to find answers to their questions quicker.
