🐴❤️🩹 The excuse that will always make me the angriest when a horse is neglected and skinny is that BS line - "they're old, that's just what old horses look like."
Blaming age, size, or breed for lack of condition on a horse is an excuse. And a poor one, at that. Feed them appropriately, supplemental pelleted feed as needed. Because, simply put, YOU are the one responsible for ensuring they meet their caloric needs.
Every. Single. Day.
~ King Kong, 19 year old 18 hand friesian gelding. KK came to us emaciated from a recent humane case, with severe hoof neglect resulting in thrush and white line separation.
Now, a few hundred pounds heavier than when we met him, he is nearly completely up to ideal weight. Treatment and regular 6 week hoof care has fully cleared his thrush and white line separation. This big boys future is looking very bright... 💙
