I recently had my 8yo 15.2h Welsh/x mare’s mane tested for PSSM. Her results were positive for PSSM type 1. I do low level eventing with her and she is so chubby and cresty necked despite restricted calories which is why my instructor suggested testing her. I’ve been reading a lot about the PSSM diet. Any suggestions for changes in what she’s currently eating are appreciated.
She has been getting 1/4 of a quart Triple Crown complete AM and PM, 1 scoop Quiessence AM and PM(in an attempt to help her cresty neck and metabolism) 1 scoop SmartOmega3 granules from smartpak in the AM and 1 scoop Vit B1 in the AM. She is on pasture with 2 flakes orchard grass hay during the day and 2-3 flakes hay in her stall at night.
I’m looking at giving her Cocosoya oil. Any opinions on that? Also, planning to supplement Vit E with Nano-E from KER. The feeds available at the barn I board at are oats, TC Complete, TC Senior and Legends Show and Pleasure pellets. Any suggestions for changing to a different feed? Would any of these already available be ok to feed? I’m trying to not have to buy my own feed if I don’t have to!
Thanks in advance!
