| Another vote for Calm and Condition, and slow fittening work (plenty of walking up hills), I'm sure he will look much better in a relatively short time, and he is a good looking boy, I'm sure you'll be very happy together. |

I honestly don't think his WEIGHT looks that bad
I think its more about muscle tone and good old grass tbh, I'd be VERY careful about feeding lots of hard feed at this time of year.. laminitis is rife and its not just the tubby ones that get it
as has been said, its a lot easier to get it on then off! lol
best of luck ,he'll look great in no time, lots off slow work and hills to build up that bum

| Alpha Oil and a bit of work to build on the muscle always has worked for me - he's not so bad just out of condition.... |

Congratulations on your new boy. I am surprised with all the "Baileys" fans that no one has suggested Outshine. It is quite expensive but a bag goes a long way and it is great for putting on weight and giving the coat a real shine; you just add a bit to his feed. He doesn't look poor to me, just lacks muscle and and a little weight but don't get him fat!
Have a great time together.

| I must admit I am also a fan of Bailey's Outshine - moved on to it after the Calm and Condition, when Lily's workload increased - just a mug a day added to her ration |
