I am not going to pay $60 more a month on top of $700 in board for a ration balancer that is 5% better than another one. As everyone on here always says, the ration balancers are basically all the same and all “fine.” There was no reason to seek out another one.
Poulin is what the barn feeds, so if you want anything other than Poulin or Cavalor, it is at your expense. I’m willing to buy whatever will work for him.
I’m not sure how you seemed to miss that we were taking weight OFF this horse for the past three months and now his weight is at a healthy weight. We were deliberately not meeting his calorie needs because he was 200 pounds overweight. Now he is not 200 pounds overweight, and he can have more, in which case, overfeeding him a ration balancer will do absolutely zero to address that. He already gets as much hay as he wants.
I am asking for a grain that is one step better than a ration balancer in terms of calories, and of better quality than Poulin, which I think is crap, personally. If the answer is Triple Crown Lite, then I will get him that. If the answer is Cavalor FiberForce, then he can have that included in my board.
Man, some people on this board are bitches for absolutely no reason. Also, since I’m such a horrid owner - he has had recent blood work done and no, he does not have some thyroid problem or cushings or metabolic disorder. He is 7 years old, naturally lazy, being asked to do much harder work than I’m sure he was bred for.
