What type of salt or mineral block do you recommend using for my 24yrold gelding quarter horseAt this time he is definently underweight and we are slowly trying to fill him out and at this time he is receiving two feedings daily each giving 4 lbsof Purina Equine Senior and then alfalfa, totalling at least 20 lbsof feed daily and we are also giving him in the morning only a supplement by Purina called Amplify.What do you all recommendWe are new and trying to get this horse healthy, which he has already come a long way, but I want to make sure he is getting all that he needs.
yes you will need all the mentioned safety equipmentit is extremely messy and you will need to be in a well ventilated area preferably outdoorsmy dad and i repaired a boat with the stuff oncei think we got it at a marinait has been years though.
It will harden the foam without the clothWhen mixed, the resin gets real hot as it cures, hot enough to melt some types of foamI would try it on an extra piece first and see if it works good.
A few things to consider would be having his teeth floated and getting him wormed if you haven't alreadyYou can feed the Equine Senior in higher quantities and cut back on the alfalfaThe Senior is high in fiber, low in starch and can even be used as a complete replacement for hay for horses that cannot eat itI would consider giving him 3 feeds per day - scoop and a half at each meal and then just keep good quality grass hay in front of him - you don't what to founder himMake sure he's blanketed if it's really cold so he's not wasting calories on keeping warm and just any old mineral block will doSalt and minerals are just that, no need for a fancy brandI get them from Tractor Supply for $1.99 and break them in halfI have a horse on 4 months stall rest on Equine Senior and my neighbor who owns a feed mill put his filly on it following her surgeryIt's good feed that keeps condition on them, is non heating and because you can feed it in greater volume, it's good for getting weight on.
