We used to give him senior feed, but we thought that sweet feed would put more weight on him because it has more sugar in it. Guess not... Thank you for the helpful info! We will put him back on his senior feed.

I trotted him today for awhile. At some points he did try to run to the gate that I dismount at. But when he did I turned him the opposite way. At the end he was doing pretty good he stopped trying to run to the gate so I got off him and walked him to the gate instead of riding him there to...

More like a couple of days! LOL! When we brought in the bag of feed he was picking it up and throwing it up in the air! Haha

He looks like he is getting a lot better! We have been feeding him a lot of sweet feed and are mixing in like a cup of ''cool calories''. I did notice though that he likes the hay from Atwoods better than the bale of hay I got off craigslist, so we have been giving him that instead. Is the...

Today he was pacing the fence galloping around and throwing his head when he knew I was coming back to feed him sweet feed. He gallops a lot now. If he can gallop fine without a rider why can't he with?

I did gallop on him a few days ago. It seem like he doesn't mind running if he is following Danny. I think it also might be me or something because when my mom rode him he didn't seem like he minded trotting she even got him to gallop, and he didn't try to stop. I think I have been worrying...

I think so. I will post some

I trotted and canter on him for a good 5 mins today. He stopped a few times but I clucked and he sped up. He kinda started to run to the gate but I turned him around the other direction.

Thank you

Right before we got him the guy said that they had just taken him to vet and they said he had minor arthitis. The guy said we could gallop on him. But he also said his wife was riding him and when she was going up a steep hill with him he was stumbling so she jumped off.

I am not sure we got him a couple months ago. My parents wanted him for the little kids to ride because he was so calm and easy going. But since a couple of weeks ago we he started losing weight and he looks horrible now! How would I know if he's had teeth done? Is there a way to tell?

Hi, I need some advice on what to feed my 24 year old gelding. He is way too skinny and we don't know how to get him to gain weight. We used to give him 3 quarts of senior feed a day but since he started losing weight we give him 7 quarts now He pretty much just eats hay for the rest of the...

But you don't even know how big he is

Do you suggest he jump over things? Or would that be bad for his arthritis? Thanks for the ideas! I will set up some activities for him to do.

He will gallop to the post when I am riding him. He does this so I can dismount him. That's why I now dismount him in the middle of my field. But he also will gallop when I let him into my big field for him to graze. I do ground work with him. No he is not at all pushy, He would rather not...

Thanks! He has been galloping a lot now! But not while I ride. Yesterday I was lunging him for about 15 to 20 mins. So it was cold so I decided it was about time to quit, so I took his halter of him stood there for maybe a few mins then I started to walk away and he took off and galloping! He...

This is very helpful! Thanks

Thank you!

I will try using a different saddle to see if that works. Thank you
