Totally different horse, but my 25 yr old couldn’t gain weight on TCS. On the same amount, he easily gained on Ultium gastric care. 6 months later & he’s thriving. I think they’re both highly palatable, quality feeds. Good luck with your decision.

My 23 year old is so weird - he’s put on about 100 pounds in two months with Pro Force Senior BUT I’ve noticed he’s been really stocked up despite living outside since he’s switched. He has a low bow on a hind leg that gets real puffy (can’t see or feel his ligaments). He moves around fine, and he’s a pasture puff so it’s not the end of the world.

I’m scared to switch him because he got the weight on with the Pro Force (10 lbs per day, I’ll never financially recover), but I hate seeing him stocked up.

I’m wondering if it’s the grain causing it or if it’s because they’re in dry lots more often than pasture. Regardless, he’s happy as a clam and way less ribby, which I’m so pleased about since it’s winter time.
