I own a 20 year old Lipizzan gelding. I bought him when he was 6 years old.
He is bare foot and has been for about 8 years.
He just does’t seem right and is low on energy. As of a week ago I took him
off all his supplements and grain (LMF stage 1) a low carb feed.
He has a history of gas colic. He gets a split diet of grass hay pellets
and low carb grass hay as well as some regular
grass hay. He gets the pellets because of the leaky gut syndrom. Low carb
hay because he is an easy keeper.
I work with an animals communicator and he told her that he did not need any
of the supplement. He still gets a probiotic.
He is ridden 5 o6 days. 3 days in dressage and 2 or 3 days on hilly terrain.
I am interested what you would suggest for him.
Thank you,
Daisy
