As members of the site are may be aware my dressage horse tied up earlier in the year. It was unusual in that I feed high quantities of forage and my horses have great turnout onquality pasture. she recovered but had another attack at a competition on 4th Sept. I decided to have a quantum X-roid test done by Crossgates homeopathy and the results were quite staggering. the main trigger to her attacks was soya. I used to add soya oil for extra condition and bloom without fizz. It was indirectly the cause in september as I has re-introduced a feed balancer over the previous week. This limits my choice of additional feed as she loses condition in the winter. I feed no mollassed alfalfa and oat straw from Creature Comforts (as my cob has an intolerance to mollasses), carrots, ad lib hay and a vitamin and mineral supplement called Seaquim. She is receiving a homepathic rememdy which she will finish at the end of the month and seems to be returning to her old self. She had become lack lustre and lethargic and Iwas having problems with her legs filling badly when stabled overnight. This I believe was due to the liver and kidney damage done by the toxins released from the muscles after the attack.
Does anyone out there feed corn or vegetable oil in any sort of quantity and do you think it could provide a viable solution to her weight loss problem?
