HOTD, I was just looking over the picture gallery and noticed, Bay, your Arabian Gelding. He's just beautiful especially for his age. I have to ask, what do you feed him? I hope you dont mind my asking you questions but I have a few theories on feed and the health of a horse. I can usually tell what a horse is on (or NOT on) just by looking at them. I'm really curious, what do you feed him? ;) He's beautiful.

He really eats pretty plainly. He was on a 14% senior formula pellet and grass hay until recently, now since he's plenty fat and grass will be coming in, he's on a regular 12% COB that the other horses get. And he gets grass hay.

He really does look really good for his age. Of course, sometimes when he's snoozing all swaybacked with a foot cocked, I see his age. But I marvel every time I can see him snort and pick up and go. When I see him running and looking so vigorous, I tell myself he may have several years left...

Oh - and thank you so much for complimenting him. As good a heart as he is, it's not vital to me that he's pretty too, but I sure appreciate people who think so, like I do.
