My Horse Lady Bug

21 9:09:48

Question
I have been helping at a horse barn for a couple of weeks now, and I fall in love with this pretty paint and she didnt have a name so i named her lady bug. But anyways she is probably about 5-6 years of age she used to ride a while back but the owner has over 40 sum horses to take care of so me and my boyfriend help out.  I'm trying to find out the best feeding diet for her so far the vets say she is healthly and very strong.  But I was just wonder if you could give me some different tips.  She has a mind of her own but she is a good horse.

Answer
Dear C.C

How lucky Lady Bug is to have you looking out for her.  I would be happy to see how I can help but I need a lot more information.  What breed is she, how big is she and what is she currently eating both type of food and amounts?

If you can get me this info I will have a better idea of whether it is right for her.

Best regards,
Clair
