You can order almost anything from SmartPak, shipping is free and the prices I've checked are the same.

i got ya Michelle... we had a salesman take us to lunch trying to sell us that, i think ... hmmm if wonder we bought some. I didnt see horse guard there yesterday but i can check again... My "feed store" is my local Tractor Supply Company, so their selection is limited. But i can go to about three other small stores down by my mother and get better products and more of a variety. I will have to check out SmartPak and see what I can find with them. Thank you all again for all your help.   This is what she looked like before s he was bred and when she was in good shape.  |

Thank you. That bottom picture was actually taken about two years ago, sigh, sadly her stripes arent as visible now but if i get her into a stall and keep her out of the light they come back and so do her dapples. especially in the spring and summer. I am hoping to get them both back and more visible this spring and summer by building her a stall to stay in out of the sun

She doesn't look bad. I would say she is a three on the Henneke scale. I think getting herr off the alfalfa hay is the best thing you can do for her.

Actually, she does not really look nutritionally challenged. I am thinking thyroid so besides getting her off electrolytes and alfalfa, I would do a tablesthingy of sea kelp five days a week, once she stabilizes, I would do three times a week. Do not buy Source as it is not pure or good quality. Ukele has a good product and so does ABC Plus - both online.

thanks... she is photogenic, lol and looks better in photos then in real life. She isnt that bad yet i just really dont want her to get bad. She has started to show improvement in just a week and a half on pasture. Should i give Frodo the kelp as well?

Yes, babies need it six days per week, about half the amount daily.
