I just bought a very thin mare and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to fatten her up safely but quickly. She is a 10 year old tennessee mare. I have wormed her out and had her teeth cked.Any suggestions anyone?

If I have one that is thin I go get a 55 gallon of peanut butter and put about half the weight of feed if I am feeding 5 pounds of feed in Morning and 5 in the evening I will feed 2 1/2 pounds of peanut butter each feeding

We use 55 gal drums of peanut butter to bait bear with. It will really put the weight on them but I would be very cautious on a horse, especially one very thin. I would take it slow & do what Judge does with three feedings a day with a good quality hay & also what Double R says. You can colic or founder a horse very quickly with to much feed or something their system is not used to.

There is a supplier in Ga. but don't know exactly where. One of the locals gets it. It is around $75.00 a drum. Only problem, some of the bears like extra crunchy & some like smooth.lol

If she ain't put on lbs in week week 1/2 might have vet check her could be under line issue. Horses are like people cut the out put and up the intake and they will blow up

Purina Omelene Senior, highly digestable. It's expensive but worth it if you need weight fast and safely.

Put her out on good pasture had horses that were thin and tried all the little tricks but nothing seems to work as good as plenty of pasture

Put her in a stall and feed her every nite.Go to the stall the next morning and get some feed out of her trough and rub it in her side.If she is healthy,she will get fat with this remedy. Think closely about what I just told you & you will understand why this works. Bolo
