Day 12

I have FINALLY finished coming up with Rosie's feeding plan after a ton of research. 

Rosie’s feed program AM and PM:
 


*  3 flakes in Grass hay in slow feeder net
*  3 lbs of dry beet pulp, then soak in water for 12 hours
*  1 lb of dry alfalfa pellets, then soak in water for 12 hours
*  1/2 cup of flax seed
*  2 cups rice bran
*  1 oz scoop of cool calories
*  Once it’s all mixed, all more water to make it mix together
*the beet pulp and alfalfa pellets should be soaked in a 1:2 ratio of pellets to water. 

This should give her calories that are little to no sugar and help her slowly gain the weight she needs. 

To recap, here is Rosie at day 1:
 
 Day 11: 
MUCH healthier. And....same grumpy Arab ears as my first horse <3
She is still sore from the hoof trimming and getting her shoes off but spunkier. In fact, she was in my stall and 2 ft further away from Hope (my TB mare) than she wanted to be, so she crashed through the wood rails in the stall....She's okay, but I bet she's pretty sore from being so silly.
